Water Lilies
This post is for #SublimeSunday is inspired by 
I was at the duck pond in Buttonwood Park recently with my largest lens the Sony 200-600MM trying to get some photos of birds with admittedly not great results when I saw the water lilies on the pond and thought to get some shots of them which has lead to this post
I know the water Lilies can overtake a pond creating issues, but I still find them quite beautiful and they haven't taken over to much of the pond so far this year so I hope they are not an issue.
Now funnily enough my favorite photo of them is the one I share first where the lily has not opened up yet but with the reflection I love this photo

and yet another lily that had not opened up yet, this walk was in the morning an hour or two after sunrise, I am not sure if the lilies open when the sun is out and close up over night as I know some other flowers do, of these ones were fairly young and getting ready to open up
