Graceful in decline

I didn’t include this picture in my recent aquatic garden gallery as I had another image of the same thing, but I think lotus leaves in decline are fascinating.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly unsharp.

I am a big fan of images of old flowers and foliage and this is a cool one. Portrait framing worked so well here.

It's like a folded beach umbrella in the wind! Often, beauty in dissolution.
