Lily Pads on Blue Water

This photograph captures several yellow floating hearts (Nymphoides peltata) drifting across deep blue water. Some of the lily pads are bright green, others tinged with yellow, and long, slender stems trail downward, disappearing into the quiet depths below.

If you love flowers and foliageor just enjoy discovering their beauty and names like I do—come explore my gallery of blooms captured in moments of wonder and curiosity.

"A handful of lily pads drift across a still surface of deep blue water—each pad a soft punctuation mark in an otherwise uninterrupted field of color. The water is rich and saturated, almost cobalt, with no visible ripples or movement. It holds the lily pads like a canvas holds brushstrokes—deliberate, spaced, serene. The pads themselves vary in tone: some are bright green, others tinged with yellow, suggesting age or seasonal shift. Their shapes are mostly round, with gentle notches and imperfections that make them feel organic, not ornamental. Thin stems connect a few of them, visible just beneath the surface like faint lines in a drawing. There’s no frog, no flower, no breeze—just the quiet presence of floating leaves and the suggestion of depth below. The composition is minimal, almost meditative. The pads seem to hover, not just on water, but in time—suspended between growth and decay, motion and stillness. In the bottom left corner, the image bears the signature “© Swede’s Photographs,” a subtle watermark that doesn’t intrude on the scene’s rhythm. The overall mood is tranquil, abstract, and quietly precise." - Copilot
