POTENTIAL

  Back in August I made a trip up to the University of Tennessee Gardens in Knoxville, TN and mozied around shooting the plants and flowers for a couple of hours.  This little Water Lilly caught my eye when I walked through the gate.  Just kinda sticking up out of the water waiting for the sun to shine showing some wonderful potential for color when it opens up.
  As a matter of fact, about an hour later when I came back around the sun was up and the Lilly was opening up. It definitely reached that potential.
