“Water Lilies’ is an extension of my life. Without the water the lilies cannot live, as I am without art.”
~ Claude Monet
~ 1840 ~ 1926
~ One of the most famous Western painters of all time, founder of Impressionist painting, creator of the iconic Water Lilies series & a symbol of French painting
Kissed by the summer sun, the loveliness of the pink water lilies dances in the pond on a beautiful mid-July afternoon at Johnson’s Pond Wildlife Park, Schnecksville, North Whitehall Township, Pennsylvania.
A blue-tailed dragonfly can be seen alighting on the bloom at left and in the foreground on the pond.
Water lilies, plants in the genus Nymphaea, are aquatic blooms that grow in ponds and water gardens and are abundant on Johnson’s Pond.
This wildlife park provides an environment for bird watching, nature study and trails.
