Yellow lotus

In addition to wanting to see the lotus flowers open, which they are only in the morning, I also wanted to see the American lotus, which is an unusual shade of yellow. They only have a small pond of them, but they really attracted a lot of attention.

*****

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.

A beautiful floral filling the frame nicely love the dark bokeh and the up front light illumination the Yellow Lotus.
All in nice harmony and excellent resolution .

The wildlife refuge that I go to has a large pond of these. They really are lovely as is your image.

The yellow is very pale and it looks like there is almost a second flower in the flower
