Understanding waterlilies

It took me time to understand my waterlilies. I had planted them for the pleasure of it; I grew them without ever thinking of painting them. ”
- Claude Monet

Torrential rain and massive humidity this morning gave way to a beautiful, hot, shiny afternoon. I abandoned everything around 3pm and went down to my beach - lounged around swam, read, swam, read, swam. What a life. I suspect another swim may be taken after supper.
