A few days ago while moseying along the river bank in early afternoon I passed a small spring-fed pond that was above the river and nearly hidden by willows, and as I did a small patch of white caught my eye. Upon investigation of the place, I saw that the white came from the three dime-sized petals of a blossom that I somehow had not encountered before, Arumleaf Arrowhead (Sagittaria cuneata), and for a time I enjoyed the process of getting quite wet and muddy photographing another small aquatic plant. Pleased with my discovery and photographs, I then returned home.
Yesterday upon a visit to the same vicinity, the light that was filtered through the morning clouds displayed a whole scene at the pond that I had missed before by focussing only on the small white blossoms of the new plant (which can be barely seen at the water’s edge at the bottom of the photo).
