Playing...still and waterlilies

I never got around to finish re-vamping this blog. So I am at it again. Please excuse the cluster that is usually caused by my brain malfunctions.

In the mean time please enjoy these photos of the waterlily garden.

The waterlily garden here in San Angelo is internationally known. Can you imagine that? Something here in little ole Angelo, so well known? The man behind it is Ken Landon. He one of the largest collections in the world, and he displays it here. It is a wonderful place to go visit and just relax.

I love how the camera picked up the details in the dragon fly's wings.


The colors in this one just really stand out, so striking.


I love how the water in the background looks almost painted.


This was taken at the waterlily fest today. The pond in the bottom corner is sporting the Texas flag. Wanna guess why? Well that's because Ken Landon created a hybrid waterlily named Texas Dawn, and today it was recognized as the states waterlily.

I also got to meet a wonderful fellow photographer today.

  1. Hi Amanda,
    My name's Mike, I have a 'blog called My Photographic Memories. I am good friends with Bob Z and his Texas Tweeties 'blog. He mentioned that he met you, and linked this post on his site.
    I really like your photos! Especially the one with the "painted" background. Keep up the good work!
    Best wishes,
    Mike Z
