lotus pond

I always come back to this lotus pond near my home. One time I almost got into trouble because everyone was jittery about security and they thought I was taking pictures of sensitive installations, when all I was interested are the lotus flowers in full bloom early in the morning. I promptly removed myself from the place before I get into any more trouble. But when I went back last January, I limited myself to where there can be no mistake in my intentions, that is to take the pictures of the lotus flowers in full bloom. To my surprise, one woman told be to go further in because she said, I might even find small turtles in there. I did not find them, only more of the lovely bright pink flowers lit brightly by the morning sun. © 2006, Bangkok, Thailand, daddywasabi, all rights reserved.
