[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
While trying to photograph a great blue heron, I noticed this water lily flower. Here it is.

Water lilies are well adapted to their habitat. They grow and live on the edge of ponds and lakes, in the shallow water. They grow in areas where there are few plants and because of this, they don't have competition for sunlight. This is very important because sunlight is the main way that water lilies are able to receive food and energy. The water lilies leaves are usually large and are able to store a lot of energy. Water lilies usually live in water that is rich in oxygen and receives a lot of sunlight.
