I and my playmates used to to that when I was young. Our school has a pond and it has plenty of white water lilies. But I did scream and my eyes popped out when I see the last picture. Did I see a snake curling??? Ekkkkkkkkkkk!! You make my heart palpitate hahahaha. Thanks for sharing I do enjoy your photos so much!!
