Petals On The Lake
The Petals blew off the dock and into the lake. I really liked to similarity between the soft petals and the soft ripples on the lake.
Irises By Beaver Lake
More of what you are seeing here is invasive. The Yellow Iris's (Yellow Flag Iris) block out cattails that should be growing here. Most of the lilies you see are fragrant water lily - again invasive. The native lilies are yellow.

This is a three image panorama stitched together in Hugin. I'm thinking this lake is so green because of agricultural runoff. I was impressed it isn't completely grown over by invasive pond lilies.
Beaver Lake Full Of Lilies
This is a bizarre picture - this is about 8 images seamed together because I only had a 400mm lens. At the time, I think this was the largest flower display in all of Vancouver and it was completely natural.
