Uploaded: June 23, 2003 05:58:56
Shot at Caddo Lake near Uncertain, Texas. Late afternoon exposure 1/250, f/13 at 149mm. Rainy and windy a large bubble of water gets a free ride.

Another beauty Murry. You really do find great spots to photograph. #124093Gene Spears May 26, 2019
Murry - a great spot - nice capture and an interesting photograph! I guess you're bound to find unusual things in Uncertain. #124154Carolyn M. Fletcher May 26, 2019
Well, Gene is right, it's Unusual..I was Uncertain what it was..But now I know! #124221Ellen Peach May 26, 2019
It certainlilly is beautiful....great job, Murry! #124251Dolores Neilson May 26, 2019
I love the way water collects in the centers of lily pads! Like the simplicity of the shot! Take care, Murry! #124263Claudia Kuhn May 26, 2019
Nice composition. I like the circle of water on the circular lily pad. It certainly made a good picture! #124308Mette Vendelboe Allison May 26, 2019
Very good and interesting picture. I like the centered composition and lighting! #124317Murry Grigsby May 26, 2019
I could have sworn I posted a reply earlier but I guess it's another senior moment. Thanks, Char, Gene, Carolyn, Ellen, Dolores, Claudia and Mette.I thought the centered lilly pad was okay since the water ball was a bit off center. It was fun to watch the water roll around on the lilly pad like a ball bearing until the wind would tip it up far enough to drain. Then another gust would fill it up again and it would play roller ball for a few minutes. You can see it doesn't take much to entertain me :0) LOL, Ellen on your mis-spelling! #124346
