During a recent visit to a beautiful garden here in central NJ, we came upon the blooming lotus flowers. At least I always thought they were Lotus. But a quick google search is causing me some consternation; is it Lotus or Nelumbo?
ISO 100 - 250mm - f/6.3 - 1/500
The leaves float on top of the water and are humongous!
ISO 100 - 84mm - f/6.3 - 1/200
Either way, they are amazing and beautiful. Enjoy!
