This summer I went kayaking with a buddy on a little lake in the area. To my delight it was half covered in water lily's, and they were all blooming! At first I was trying to be polite and just enjoy the kayaking with my friend. But eventually I asked if she minded if I took a few pictures with my phone. She said "sure!" and joined me. We found quickly that the trick was to propel yourself into the lily pads, which quickly made it very difficult to paddle, but get yourself right near a flower, without overshooting. It was quite a challenge! But we enjoyed it, and I came away with a few good pictures to paint from. Here's the first one.
