Lotus seed head

This seed head reminded me of the beautiful amber I saw in Poland and the Baltic countries.

*****

We thought we’d see what Kenilworth Park and Aquatic Gardens in Washington, D.C., was like in winter. Naturally all the lotuses and water lilies were gone, but we did find some birds during our walk around the extensive grounds.

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

Shows that even decayed seedheads are very interesting and worth to take a picture from it.
