Alright, so Mr. Rimsky-Korsakov is not really purple. He is drinking the nectar from this beautiful purple flower that resides among the pink, white and yellow waterlilies.

This picture is dedicated in loving memory to Jackie (a.k.a Mom #2). Hope you are having a heavenly birthday celebration today.

In the Land of Monet – White Lily Gets Bugged

A little bug visits a white waterlily at Alderfer-Oenslager Wildlife Sanctuary. The WordPress theme for this blog selects the background for every picture I upload. Sometimes the color it picks is obvious and sometimes it surprises me – as it did with this post. I did not expect a yellow background but a green or black background.  Who knows what it will select for Wednesday’s post.

In the section of Alderfer-Oenslager Wildlife Sanctuary, I call the Land of Monet, I came upon this beautiful deep pink waterlily. May it bring some color to your day.
