A beautiful water lily bloomed for the first time in our fish pond. Upon opening I saw the brightness of the center with the paintbrush strokes of the pink color against the white then just happened to have some of the water bubbles float by as I was taking photos of the lily.

Photographer: Tisha Clinkenbeard (Powderly, TX, USA) Registered
Tisha Clinkenbeard works have been in exhibits at The Fine Arts Center of Hot Springs, Black Box Gallery in Portland, and in several fine art shows in Texas. She believes photography captured her years ago before we had the digital wonders for cameras. Her life offers many opportunities to capture the things that she sees as she wanders this earth. Her goal is to share what she finds Round & About – which was the inspiration for her photo blog: foundroundandabout.com. Two of Tisha’s photos have been appeared in the Birds & Blooms monthly online newsletter – April and December of 2011.
