The quietness of air and stillness of water 

Giverny – water lilies floating in the air as water mirrors the sky on this overcast day – blissful time for making photographs.

Long strands of willow branches edge the pond. Small magenta color spots of lilies and other water plants create just enough color contrast to draw attention and keep your eyes moving through the landscape – it’s a wonderful feature to utilize in interior design or landscape for any monochromatic scheme – spice it up with a small dub of complimentary color. 

 

Pure delight….
