FOTD : July Water Lilly

by Lisa's * Everyday Life

My water Lilly picture is one of my favorite. I took this picture while visiting the Opelousas Welcome Center. The water Lilly is floating in water from a large old Sugar pot. The colors are so… Louisiana !

July flower of the month ….

The Water Lily Is an Important Spiritual Symbol

Water lilies mean many things in different areas of the world, but they have special significance in Buddhism and Hinduism. For these religions, the water lily symbolizes resurrection, because these flowers close up at night and reopen in the morning, similar to a spiritual rebirth. Buddhists also believe that the water lily represents enlightenment because a beautiful bloom emerges from the dark mud.

“Suddenly I had the revelation of how magical my pond is. I took up my palette. Since that time I have scarcely had any other model.” – Claude Monet
