Lilies in the Mississippi

There are acres of lilies in the river. They are all white (the ones in Guyana were both white and pink) Lilies will not grow in water that is over 18 inches deep. The river here, is more like a lake. In the 1930s a dam was built at Keokuk to create a hydroelectric power plant. The backed up water has changed the river and Nauvoo. Much of the waterfront of old Nauvoo is now under water. This picture was taken by Elder Ogden. I admired it and he said he does what his wife tells him. They make a good team.
