Water Lilies in honor of Monet at the Kimbell

Someone at the Kimbell had the cute idea of floating silk water lilies in the fountain near where the Monet exhibit is. No doubt in honor of his famous water lilies paintings in the exhibit.

I was trying not to be perfectionistic when I wrote my last blog post about our trip to the Kimbell to see the "Monet: The Late Years" exhibit that I wrote about in my last blog post ("Monet at 70"). So, I posted it quickly after writing it. Then later I wished I had put this photo with it.

Then I went back and forth. Was it too late to add it to that post I wondered? Should I make a new post instead? Is it good enough? Selfies are never very flattering and this one certainly lives up to that expectation!

So, obviously, I was still being a perfectionist despite all my intentions not to be.

Then I remembered our own water lily photos I wanted to share.  We saw these while canoeing a couple of years ago at Bonham Lake State Park here in Texas. There were no blooms on them, but I was fascinated by how whatever water got on top of each lily pad formed into a giant shiny jewel-like blob.

The blue and white stripes on the right corner is the side of our inflatable canoe.

Now that I am feeling better, I hope to go back to see the rest of the Monet exhibit that I missed out on when I suddenly got sick last time. I also want to revisit the paintings I especially liked and maybe get some photos this time.
