Water Lilies

No, this is not a game of Pac Man. I took this photo towards evening just a few miles up the road near Point of the Mountain. This pond was covered with these simple, but beautiful, plants. They are called by several names: lily pads, water lilies, lotuses. Notice the notch, which occurs in only two (I believe) of several genera of this plant. As I understand it, the flower appears during the day, but, upon closing during the end of day, disappears under the water. Isn't nature simply beautiful!
