Just returned from spending 6 days in NYC - my first visit & I loved it!.  Didn't expect to find these beautiful Water Lilies still in bloom.
Thank you for all the wonderful comments, I actually did not see the reflection when I shot it - taken in Photo Raw and when I processed it through PhotoShop I noticed the reflection.  Nice bonus!
