Columbus Botanical Garden

You can’t walk past a reflection can you?

Me? No! Why Should I?

It’s a mirror, nothing special.

Are you sure? Each one holds something different.

What?

A reflection can be the mirror image of what you are looking at, but it can also show you a different side.

Stop playing with me!

I’m not. Take this lily, the image in the water is not a mirror image but a highlight of the unseen parts. It’s showing the hidden.

Uh huh. So? What are you hiding?

Nice try…

It is probably good that only one lily at a time is making an appearance at the botanical garden. An observer can immediately tell when I spot one. My whole focus changes. I’m not seeing anything else until I have grabbed a few views of the floating princess. Tuesday was no different.

Well, maybe a little different. Although it was early in the afternoon, I was at the garden between the raindrops. The light was filtered through the clouds and I didn’t have to fight the bright white. Made it a lot easier to show the detail in the flower.

Of course, I couldn’t leave it alone. Lily was calling to me to ‘electrify’ her. I didn’t want to disappoint her.
