Since the tripod was so low to the ground, I had to lie on the ground to take this picture. A little while later, as I was having coffee with some friends, I mentioned to one of them that she might want to check out the pond because the lilies were in full bloom. A look of realization instantly crossed her face, and she asked, "was that you I just saw lying on the ground near the pond taking pictures?" It's funny, because I it had occurred to me that it might look funny but then I reasoned with myself that no one I knew would see me. Oh well, at least she would have done the same thing herself and completely understood!
