I hope you enjoy this beautiful pink water lily. I love the bright yellow center of water lilies, with their thick pistils sticking right up.

Nature LOVES to put purple and white right next to each other, especially when it comes to flowers. These purple water lilies with white centers are just beautiful. You can view more photos of these purple waterlilies here.

Here’s an amazing white and purple flower with long, thin petals that blooms on a shrub with almost white leaves. You can view more of these purple flowers here.

Wisteria blooms are some of my favorite and their white and purple clusters dangling down the trellis are gorgeous.

I love these tiny purple and white wildflowers I found on the side of a hiking trail this past spring.

Here is a different type of wildflowers, with some morning dew on them. They are still small, purple and white.

These flowers are purple and white too but they grow on a large shrub.

Sometimes you find purple flowers right next to white flowers, like this assortment of spring wildflowers.

California lupine is another type of wildflower, this one much larger than the ones I shared above.

Finally, milkweed flowers are blue but the pod leaves they come out of are purple and white.

Today I’m participating in Where’s My Backpack’s Travel Theme photo challenge. This week’s theme is “hidden”. Remember you can click on each photo for a larger view. If you like what you see, feel free to subscribe and receive nature photography updates a few times a week.
Sometimes when I photograph a specific subject in nature, I find something hidden inside or around it. For example, I found this lovely green junebug beetle when I was photographing rose blooms.
Travel theme: Hidden green junebug beetle
I also found this little ladybug crawling on the bottom part of a leaf when I was looking for monarch caterpillars in a large milkweed plant.
Travel theme: Hidden red ladybug
I did find the monarch caterpillars eventually, after looking at the milkweed tree for about 10 minutes. They blend in pretty well in the green and yellow leaves.

I found this cute little crab hiding in the sand at low tide. I bet he couldn’t wait for the tide to come back up.

On my last picture for this theme, my subject is quite hidden. Do you see the leafy sea dragon made out of tree branches and leaves in the tree? It looked like it was trying very hard to take off in the sky.

Sometimes you don’t have a lot of options when you photograph your subject. You can’t get to the right angle, the sun in on the wrong side, you can’t get close enough, etc. When I spotted the blue dragonfly below, it stayed put, high perched on a tree branch, and didn’t move anywhere else the whole thing I tried to photograph it. So I decided to photograph it from underneath and hoped something good would come out of it. I think my favorite part of this dragonfly on all photos I got is its intricate wings that seem to glitter in the sunlight. I was lucky to have a bright blue sky to use as a background that day.

I love taking pictures of water lilies and showcasing them on this website. Here are a few photos of light yellow waterlilies for this Floral Friday. They were in partial shade and I like the light effect on the lily pads and the water lilies.
