Image Description: We speak of them often and often associate them with sunbathing frogs, but we see lilly pads much less often than we think of them. Thankfully, this photograph gives us a look at a large surface of the well-known plants, each of them serving to cover a small area of the surface of this pond or lake, and all of them coming together to make for a formidable patch of watery green. In just a few areas of the patch, we can see the pink flowers that the pads are famous for creeping over the surface and stretching upwards towards the Sun in an effort to conduct photosynthesis, giving the plants below the food that they need to stretch their roots deep below the water, and into the muddy ground below.
