Lilly pad flower close up.
Some times I have to get up and walk away from my work. I did that today. I couldn't focus and kept getting distracted, so I walked into our back yard where earlier this summer we installed a pond. For the last few months we've struggled to get the eco-system worked out and now it's a thing of beauty.

Today revealed a special surprise. Our first lilly pad flower bloomed. The design of nature amazes me from the symmetry of a flower, the unique structure of a crab, or the diverse patterns and colors on the Koi fish that swim in our pond.
Our three Koi "Pearl", "Camo" and "Socko."
I really should be working but instead I found myself just sitting there watching the fish, then taking some pictures of the flower. Sure, I still have a deadline but if you can't have a life as well than what is the point really?
Tide pool critter.
Earlier this summer we took a two day trip to the coast and I captured this photo of a crab there. He was living inside a tide pool and didn't want to model for me so it took a while to get a good shot.
All of this reminds me once again that Gods portfolio trumps us all.
