Our mission was to have dinner at the Hot and Hot Fish Club in Birmingham, Ala., but we stopped off at the botanical gardens before hand. It was so hot and humid that afternoon that I had to change my clothes in the public restroom before heading over to the restaurant. Yes, we had planned for that eventuality. Anyway, I had never seen lily pads unfurling like this before, so I was glad to get a series of photographs. It is only when looking at the thumbnail of the image that it looks like a frowny face. Pareidolia it's called.
