Mesmerizing

I have been waiting for the lotus flowers to make their appearance at Lake Hamilton in Claiborne County because it is such a beautiful sight. Plus, I get to take photos such as this...one of my favorites taken in 2009. I absolutely love this photo.

Grand Gulf Nuclear Station

Ventured down to Hamilton Lake in Claiborne County the other day and caught the steam rising from the cooling tower at Grand Gulf Nuclear Station at sunrise. I love the lily pads in the water in the foreground. Plus, the clouds are pretty awesome, too. Looks like the angels were raking them that morning. Maybe God was playing golf and this was one of the bunkers.

There are alligators in Hamilton Lake, but I did not think they would be amongst the lotus blooms and water lilies, but I was mistaken! This fella was discovered right in the thick of them. I am glad I spotted him.

I love the symmetry of the water lilies...perfect circles just floating in space!
Dragonflies are in abundance all around the lake. Here are some of them.


Here are some closeups of the lotus pods. Tell me God doesn't pay attention to detail!

Even in death, the water lilies are stunningly beautiful. There's a life lesson here that I am going to have to mull over for a while. Anyone else have any thoughts? I would love to hear them.

Here are some more photos of Hamilton Lake in Claiborne County. I am enamored by the beauty of the lotus blooms and water lilies that fill this lake. It's God Glory at its finest! Wait until what I show you from this lake on Wednesday!

Hamilton Lake in Claiborne County

This lake in the shadow of the cooling tower at Grand Gulf Nuclear Station in Claiborne County is called Hamilton Lake on the map. It is a beautiful lake filled now with thousands and thousands of lotus flowers and lily pads. It is such a spectacular sight and more evidence of God's Glory! You must drive down to see it — it's on Port Road right past where you turn in to go to GGNS. I will have other photos later this week.
