Rainbow Water Lily © 2012 Bo Mackison

A lake is the landscape’s most beautiful and expressive feature.
It is earth’s eye; looking into which the beholder measures the depth of his own nature.
–   Henry David Thoreau

I was entranced when I looked closely at this water-lily. Never have I seen so many separate colors in one lily. From the center, moving outward — yellow, red-orange, orange, red, magenta and green. Almost like a rainbow lily. Such a beauty!

About Bo Mackison

I'm a photographer, book-artist, traveler, naturalist, and creator of the Contemplative Creatives Journey, An Online Workshop and Community and Desert Wisdom Cards and Workshops. Though often not well known, I find the desert a welcoming place - a healing space. Its mysteries and gifts transformed me several years ago. Since that first encounter, I return again and again to fill my well in what most people think of as a desolate region. I'd love to share my desert discoveries and wisdom with you. Please subscribe to receive my five part mini email course The Gifts of the Desert. It's my gift to you.
