Kayaking on Pleasant Lake | Water Lily Kayaks really help capture wildlife, landscapes, seascapes, flowers, and even insects. This white water lily image was captured in pretty hard light; yet, it still captures the reflected light of the blue sky. The white water lily is a perennial plant that tends to form in dense colonies. The leaves arise from the lake bottom, several feet deep, on flexible stalks. The leaves are almost round and bright green with a 6 to 12 inches diameter and a slit about a third of the length of the leaf. Leaves usually float on the water’s surface. Flowers arise on separate stalks, have brilliant white petals with yellow centers. The flowers may float or stick above the water. Each fragrant flower opens in the morning and closes before evening.
