Description
Hello all!!
I still have lots of pics from my Michigan trip, wildlife and sunsets etc - but for some reason this one calls to me, so I am putting it up!.. lol cannot expain why I like this here, but I do. Maybe it's the colors.
When I shot all the water lilies, * (see gallery) there was a side of the lake where all the sludge built up. An old Chinese woman told me the murkier the water the prettier lotus flowers. Why is that I wondered? How is it possible?
I walked over and looked at the sludge build up and saw these turning discarded leaves and a sandal that was floating there. Couldn't help but think how you can find beauty even in the tossed aside discarded things in life.
I feel deep down that the artists who have gone through the most pain and hurt for some reason, paint the most beautiful soul-reaching pictures...
How do those HUGE liles bloom in such murky water I wonder? Maybe they are so happy to get out of that downtown LA murky water that they bloom like nowhere else on the planet. I have been told they are the prettiest in the world in that dirty LA pond. Here is the side the lily pond that no one takes pictures of - I found beauty in it- the discarded - and thought I would share it with you here today! ( taken with my nikon 7900 pocket cam - not photomanipulated just a slight bit of smudging to help draw it out - only slightly saturated. They were strong colors from whatever was in that downtown murky pond lol)
Thank you for all your time and comments !'
Love to you all!
((( BIG HUGS )))!

Awesome colors, and indeed a life lesson to be had here! We should never give up, for beauty appears everywhere. On the same side, when we try to find perfection in beauty, we will often find it's edges wilted! ;)
even with the shoe this is a lovely shot!
Beautiful colors all around and an excellent POV. The lily pad kind of looks like a Portugese Man-O-War from that angle.
