Lovely photos, all! I am intrigued by the 4th photo (beautiful single Lotus, full face view -- as it were). Until I enlarged the photo, I thought there was a yellow decorative button in the middle of the flower. Plain to tell I've not seen a Lotus up close before.
Hope you have a safe trip home, now that the Olympic frenzy is over.
That third photo, that one's my favorite. Well, except number four's pretty great, too. Not that there's anything wrong with those first two...but those profile views, your compositions there are just stunning.
Ah, but that's just nature at its finest, isn't it? Stunning the hell out of us anytime we care to look!
Lovely pictures of a beautiful flower. Have you ever seen American lotus? It's a close relative, pretty much the same shape, but the flowers are yellow rather than pink.
