These aqua lily plants grow in abundance near the mountains and lakes in SoCal. There's just bound to be a frog on the lily pad somewhere. For more blue photos, visit Sally's meme at Blue Monday

As summer nearly comes to an end here, we've decided to re-do our homemade fountain and pond. I guess we really didn't know what we were doing. Perhaps we'll just drain it and fill the area with succulents.

There's just something about hearing and seeing the flow of water; so soothing. The white items inside the fountain are floating candles.

As I was watching the last day of the Olympics with the rest of the world, I was so impressed with all the ladies participating in Rhythmic Gymnastics. They reminded me of the 'lily in motion.'
