Crooked Lake Trail, Pinckney, Michigan
Photograph by Maddy Baker, 2017


A white water lily sits among a dense spread of lily pads, their muted greens and browns covering the surface of the still water. The scattered light and soft reflections in the water give the scene a slightly impressionistic quality, faintly reminiscent of Monet’s later garden paintings. Some of the leaves show signs of wear, adding texture to the otherwise calm composition.
