Beauty expresses itself in so many different ways. That was the thought that was running through my head as I reviewed my photos from my recent visit to Washington D.C. to photograph lotuses and water lilies at Kenilworth Park and Aquatic Gardens. Actually I had a similar thought when I was there with my camera—how could I possibly capture a sense of the moment, of the shapes and colors that were overwhelming my senses?
I have already shared some photos of Sacred Lotuses and American Lotuses in previous blog postings, but I have so many more images that I like that I feel compelled to share a few more images of Sacred Lotuses (Nelumbo nucifera). I hope you don’t mind.
Sometimes I describe what I like about the photos in a blog posting, but this time I will let you enjoy them without my commentary. My only recommendation is that you click on the images to see more of the details of these wonderful flowers. Enjoy the experience as seen through my eyes and the lens of my camera.
