Newly appearing water plants


One of the houses we lived in had a pond with water lilies. I very much enjoyed photographing the lilies as they appeard in spring. But, more than that, I particularly enjoyed photographing them as they changed colour and faded away in autumn. I was reminded of that pond when we passed the weir on the Mill Avon at Tewkesbury. Water lily leaves were appearing. So too was another plant that produces, if my memory serves me well, broad spear-shaped leaves. They weren't yet filling this part of the river as they eventually will, so I took a photograph of the contrasting plants and their reflections.
