    There is always this fascination to watch a lotus and it is not an everyday affair. The reflection of the trees in the water makes the photo beautiful.

      Thank you Anamika. You know I spent a long time admiring this still reflection on the water as it gave me so much peace! This was in a water enclosure inside the hotel lounge. I loved how it was standing so straight and thats how the pic happened.

    I loved these lotuses when I sighted them in Kerala and saw plenty in Bangalore too!!! I dont find them in my part of country at all!!!

    • Esha M Dutta

      Yes, you’re right, Shalz. They have loads in this part of the country … in Kerala, esp the backwaters, which are full of them. I absolutely love these and lose no opportunity to go clicking whenever I see them. 😀

    Such a beautiful one. I love how the leaves of the lotus are on the surface of water and float. I added my link, Esha. Happy to join 🙂

      Thank you so much for joining in, Parul. Thanks much for those lovely words. Watching it, I also learnt that one can bloom in the midst of so much muck and yet retain one’s purity and beauty!

      They do, Rajlakshmi. And love so regally they stand too!

    There’s something really beautiful about the lotus growing in still and dirty water … and

    • Esha M Dutta

      Yes, very true Sunita! Something like not letting the mess around you affect you in some ways, perhaps!?

      • BellyBytes

        Yes – I think that is the message of hope
