Many cultures around the world view waterlilies as a sacred symbol, a connection to the Earth, even as a source of healing. The waterlily embodies the essence of transformation: it's roots, below the surface in murky, muddy water draw nourishment to bring forth, on the surface, beautiful, fragrant flowers. Waterlilies and lotus blossoms are a reminder that our trials and tribulations are food for the soul making us more vibrant and beautiful. "During the past 15 years I have explored many photographic styles and subjects. My most recent work highlights Nature in its many wondrous expressions. There is much we can learn from Nature and from which we can be inspired. I love photographing animals, bees, birds, butterflies, flowers, landscapes, and much more. Waterlilies in particular have captured my attention like no other. I can't pass a waterlily without capturing it in photos from many perspectives.” - Robert Robert Sharpe is the founder of BITEradio.me – Bringing Inspiration To Earth radio show, author, and photographer.
