You Got to Get in the Thick of It

Just Another #BeautifulSunday

I sure did have a nice Sunday and wanted to share it with my awesome followers!

My son took out the jet ski..

I decided to kayak to where there were some nice water lilies...

Of course I had to get right in among the thick of it to get the shots...

That is a load of Sagittaria latifolia or better known as Arrowhead aquatic plants. Also notice the Mallard duck nesting tube.

Here is a water lily

Unfortunately they were not fully open...just my luck!

So I Decided to Paddle to see a purple plant for #colorchallenge Sunday...

It is an invasive plant called Purple Loosestrife. It is rather pretty but not good for wetlands!

Here is a video I did of my adventure...

    Looked like a very enjoyable Sunday. Did that storm come your way, or veer off?

          I've always love water lilies. I named my daughter Lillian (Lillie for short) inspired by the flowers. Looks like you had a beautiful day on the water. It looks like a fun area to kayak.

            Oh yes most definitely! I always say any time on the water is a good time.
