The picture below was taken in the garden of 
Robert S. Trickett of the police force in London, 
England. He says, ‘During trying times there is 
no more worth-while diversion than the growing 
of water lilies and aquatic plants. There is 
something about the beauties of a garden 
which gives one a mental escape from the 
troubles and tragedies of the world and 
fills us with renewed confidence in the 
eternal triumph of right.”
