 Title from William Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream Act ii. Sc. 1.

"And the imperial votaress passed on,
In maiden meditation, fancy-free.
Yet mark’d I where the bolt of Cupid fell:
It fell upon a little western flower,
Before milk-white, now purple with love’s wound,
And maidens call it love-in-idleness."

First waterlily of the year! Trying out an extra long snoot on a speedlight.
