"The Mississippi Delta begins in the lobby of The Peabody Hotel and ends on Catfish Row in Vicksburg. The Peabody is the Paris Ritz, the Cairo Shepherd's, the London Savoy of this section. If you stand near its fountain in the middle of the lobby... ultimately you will see everybody who is anybody in the Delta..." -- Author/Historian David Cohn, 1935.

Memphis, the "City of Good Abode", is well known for its wonderful BBQ, The Blues, and of course...Elvis! But, there is even more to Memphis, including a rich and diverse history, architectural beauty, exquisite gardens, and warm, Southern charm...

Thats real pretty.
Looks like I could just reach right out and pluck it from the water. Beautiful photo.
What a spectacular photo! I love the beautiful colors! Thanks for the welcome on my blog and I love your gardens they are gorgeous....Happy late birthday too!
It's simply perfect!
Beautiful lily pads and the flower is stunning.
Years ago when our baby was young we went to North Carolina and there we found a lily pad farm or pond where they grew all kinds of lily pads (I don't know the correct names) and one of them was so large (the pad) that you were supposed to be able to stand on it as the edges were turned up like a bowl.
Of course they wouldn't let me try it.
I love all the floral shots. So very pretty!
Wonderful shot. I love the pink!
Very nicely composed shot - I especially like the reflection in the water.
Gorgeous photo! I've been trying to shot some lily pads, lately, without much success.
