arija, did you take these photos? they are amazing. they prove the existance of a higher power who knows everything there is to know about color and form and staging. :) 'serenity comes close to describing my reacgtion to both of these shots. xoxo
Ces my dear, Monet took some poetic licence painting blue water lilies. I took in excess of 400 photos at Giverny in his garden and he certainly had no blue ones, They only grow in the tropics. Have you seen some of his late ones that cover a whole wall?

What a gorgeous lily Arija. I don't think I've ever seen blue on one. I like your reflection too. Cool!
