The reflecting pools outside the Marjorie McNeely Conservatory at Como Park come alive with water lilies each summer, and this shot catches a cluster of them backlit in golden morning light, with the conservatory's glass panes glowing softly in the background. Purple, pink, and yellow blooms rise up from the lily pads in every direction, all framed against that unmistakable glasshouse structure.
I hope this piece brings a little bit of that Como Park morning into your space. Feel free to share it with anyone who loves water lilies and gardens as much as I do.

The reflecting pools just outside the Marjorie McNeely Conservatory at Como Park are one of my favorite quiet spots in the Twin Cities during summer. Water lilies rise up on tall, slender stems above the lily pads, opening into shades of purple, pink, and yellow, all set against the glass and steel structure of the conservatory itself.
This shot leans into that evening light; warm and low, catching the edges of the petals and turning the glasshouse behind them into a soft, golden blur. It's a scene that feels almost too perfectly composed to be real, but it's exactly what was there that morning.
This piece is a great fit for anyone who loves gardens, water lilies, or Como Park itself, a bright, peaceful addition to a living room, sunroom, or any space that could use a little natural color.
Looks best on Canvas Gallery Wrap for a warm, textured feel that suits the golden morning light, or Smooth Fine Art Paper for the truest rendering of the lily colors and glasshouse detail.
