More Reflections

I just could not resist sharing another lovely reflection. This time it is in the lower pond, by the patio and is the first water lily of the year to open out. The tumbling water can be seen in the background but it is worth remembering that water lilies do not really like disturbed water conditions. As you can see the lily in this pond is far enough away from the stream of falling water and the reflection would not be as clear if the water was rippled.

However, for those people who have larger ponds with filtration systems it is apparently perfectly fine for the lilies to have moving water so long as it is not "disturbed" with excessive surface motion or splashing.
