Artistic agronomist Robert Wesley-Smith of Darwin has had many brushes with danger over the years and now tempts fate-crocodiles- by wading into the receding waters of the lagoon on his property at Howard Springs to take photographs of waterlilies , the latest above . He has become somewhat obsessed with the flowers since Little Darwin ran a close up photograph he took of one , which resulted in him receiving messages of praise from around the world , even asking if he is related to Monet , the famous lily waver. From a distance , on his new ride on mower, wearing safety monocles , he could easily be mistaken for another great French artist , Toulouse- Lautrec .
