A Waterlily Grows in Washington

So amidst the demolition and destruction, there have been some signs of beauty and growth. This is an image of the waterlily that I have growing in a pot on my back porch. It provided a nice counterpart to all the chaos inside the house, and I'm just happy that I didn't miss it.

I hope that eventually this will make its way to its new home: a new water garden. I've already excavated the hole for it (in an attempt to remedy the grade, which sloped to the rear of the house) but have to wait until I can get the defunct air conditioning condenser out of the way before that progresses. It'll be a while before that happens...but for now the waterlily seems happy.
