Did you somehow forget to mention that you are professional photographer? These are award winning pictures.

Jill said...

WOW! Look at those reflections! Debbie, these really should be published!

Debbie said...

you guys are way too kind, all i do is point and shoot, nothing else. these are all straight out of the camera, the last one is the only one i cropped!! i think it's the nikon cause i really haven't a clue what i am doing. i just take pictures of what looks pretty.

i think the sun was perfect here, casting these amazing reflections!!

thanks so much for the very sweet comments!! debbie xo

I remember when I went to Longwood Gardens with my boys and ex-husband. We saw the water lilies and i was impressed with the ones that would only come out at night, of course i didn't get to see them, but just the thought of them opening only at night intrigued me. The boys and my ex weren't too impressed with the gardens. But i was!!!
