Rain is predicted the rest of the week so I decided to do some exploring on the Kennebunk Plains yesterday. It was hot and humid but there was little wind, and I thought I might get some more photos of the Wood Lily, since the last time I tried to photograph them the wind was blowing a gale. Once out there, with my initial Wood Lily fix accomplished right near the parking area on the south side of the main road, I decided to hike down to a pond that I have known for years, from maps, is in the south side of the Plains. For whatever reason I have never visited the pond. The visit merits, and will receive, a full photoprowl treatment. The pond itself is attractive, with signs of fresh Beaver action, there were lots of dragonflies and some bird life, and an abundance of Wood Lilies. <\/p>\n

You do not often find Wood Lilies growing in clumps as you see them here. They are mostly spread singly, in an open cluster that covers 10 square yards…maybe, at most, a half dozen plants in the cluster…or you find them growing alone, springing apparently randomly out of the grasses and brush like orange flags. So this bouquet of Wood Lilies was a treat. <\/p>\n
