This beautiful Water Lily was standing tall and upright when I first started taking photos of it at the Calgary Zoo on 16 April 2013. Then, on came the sprinklers, and the weight of the water made it lean right over. Gave me the chance, though, to see the flowerhead from different angles. Truly beautiful from which ever way you look at it. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nymphaeaceae

Feel like I'm in some humid, tropical setting when I look at this photo - and, indeed, I was : ) No expensive, exotic holiday needed - just a drive over to the Calgary Zoo, on 1st September 2011. Love it when the sprinkler/mister comes on, though it is far from pleasant and comfortable whilst in the butterfly room (open only in the summer months). This is one of the Sacred Lotus seedpods that were there.

Tiny waterdrops on the edge of a very large Sacred Lotus leaf, taken in the ENMAX Conservatory at the Calgary Zoo on September 26th. Not sure what the tropical plants are that are seen in the distance.
