About Waterlilies grow in dirty, surrounded by water insects muddy ponds, or other ponds that are a bit cleaner but still these perennial water plants grow near the shore. The strange thing is that these surroundings do not affect the beauty and purity of the semi-double flowers but on the contrary the superior and refined characteristics of the waterlilies are brought out by means of a paradoxical antithesis...They are flowers sacred to Buddha, representing the evolution of Buddhist from the Chinese, as far as I know. They are the emblem of summer and represent a person who can survive in ugly and unpleasant environments overcoming all difficulties...

The image is kind of experimental with its 800 ASA grain, a bit blur and the spider in the foreground.. Yet I can spot an interest given by the tiny, not so shiny, nor healthy or flourished waterlily which makes the picture carry a symbolism as I explained above, to me at least!

this is true, as true as the fact there is a start for everyone and there will always be people who spread combined knowledge without having any benefit of this apart from the actual information

there is a Zen saying ..." explanaion avoids understaning" so far....
i ont know if this lower is the one that one of the apostulus meant when saying".......see the lirios od the field ...they need no dress,,,," that Buhda liked and is passing through years transmuitted in Zen writings..sorry i know about nothing on christianism, and my english...is as you see....i do like your photo Mary

Thank you my dear, I would hate to be characterised by only one image type, I experiment with many tendencies and I hope what we call "our style" is not a recipy followed all the time but something unseen someone can experience looking at just any image...
Again I tell you i feel a great admiration for you work!
