The Lotus pond near us now has only white flowers, and not very many of them. The plants look healthy enough, so maybe I came too late this year to take their pictures. Still, here they are, and by the way there were many dragonflies.

Hello Mr. Hien,
I echo what has already been said. These are stunning, and how you captured the details of the white blossom is wonderful. I hope you are having a safe weekend.

Thank you Takami! Usually I am the only one at the pond, but this year, maybe because of the pandemic, there were several other photographers, all masked.
