A lotus

Greetings,

A photo I took on the weekend in Shoreham on the Mornington Peninsula, in Victoria, Australia.

Oh isn't that lovely! We have them over here but they are the button yellow variety and not quite as spectacular .... but their name , nenuphar, has always entranced me.

Hi Retro

Nice shot!
I hope you and your young son didn't get lost in the maze!
Cheers

Sure. It's actually a scaled down version only 25% the width and 25% the length of the original. If you want the original, just message me your e-mail address.

I think the original would be too big for my lotus picture collection, this size is just fine, thanks ever so much.

Nice one, Retro!

I took this shot at the LA Japanese Gardens last summer. Looks like a different kind.
