Purple Water Lilies in the Lily Pond, Birmingham Botanical Gardens

Purple Water Lilies in the Lily Pond at the Birmingham Botanical Gardens in Birmingham, Alabama.

These purple Water Lilies were photographed on a rainy visit to the Birmingham Botanical Gardens. While the precipitation was little more than a light rain as I got out of the car, it was rather steady as I set up for the first photographs of these lilies near the gardens' entrance.

Lily Pad on Flint Creek at Wheeler Lake in the Wheeler National Wildlife Refuge, near Decatur, Alabama.

This rather large lily pad was photographed while I was on a short spider-web-filled hike on the Flint Creek Trail in the Wheeler National Wildlife Refuge.



Several photographs from a November visits to the Atkeson Trail in the Wheeler Wildlife Refuge can be found both on the blog, here, and in my Alabama the Beautiful gallery.
