Yeah, back in China, Jerry. I think my job skills are more marketable here. Juat hoping to find a job before all the lotuses disappear. jrdu

You have done your usual splendid job on these lotus flowers, John. You make them jump off the screen!
Are you back in China, then? Or did you find this beauty here in Canada?

Just beautiful against that dark background John, it almost looks like it's being lit from the inside! This would definitely make a great calendar page!

Gorgeous, John. You are the "lotus master" without a doubt! I like the little bug on the petal.
