Lovely. Reminded me of boyhood, seeing the lilies floating on the mill pond near my country home. It's one of the “largest remaining Carolina Bays, a unique and somewhat mysterious geological phenomenon. These elliptical depressions, scattered throughout the Carolinas and all oriented in a northwest-southeast direction, are typified by a cypress/tupelo bog environment. There’s also a rich variety of flora and fauna, & twayblade orchid.” I've written a poem about it. "And the Mighty Wind Blows."
