Showy lotus

What a difference it makes to go to the aquatic gardens in the morning, instead of our usual afternoon. The lotus flowers were putting on quite a show.

*****

We’ve now been to the Kenilworth Park and Aquatic Gardens twice in the past month after keeping away during the worst (or the previous worst) of the pandemic. In addition to them being stunningly beautiful, it’s nice to see so many people there enjoying nature.

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