The secret life of a lotus

A bit of acrobatics was needed to get a shot of this lotus before it opened.

*****

We went back to the 700-acre Kenilworth Park and Aquatic Gardens in Washington, D.C., to see the lotuses and water lilies in advance of their annual festival next weekend, mainly to avoid the horrendous parking problems during the event.
