These lilies are growing in a little pocket swamp about 16kms from our home....the lilies were the only vegetation in the swamp except for the reeds along the margin...just a perfect little gem. The frogs were "chug-chug-chug-a-rum!"...and the peepers were "weep-weep-a-weeping"...it was a real choral extravaganza!

:o)) Tet.

Not sure about Paul McCartney, Sticki....but I think maybe Three Dog Night..."Jeremiah was a bullfrog...Was a good friend of mine, Never understood a single word he said but I helped him drink his wine"...He always had some mighty fine wine...Singin' Joy to the World...All the boys and girls...Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea... Joy to you and me!!!
