Looking across the Lotus Pond in the Royal Botanic Gardens which is almost completely covered in lotus or water lilies in spring and will now bloom over summer. The Sydney skyline can be seen reflected in a small portion.
Amy, the bush fires are probably the worst in history. We've had smoke haze in Sydney almost every day for the past three weeks. Some afternoons there's an eerie orange glow from the sun and some days the sun looks red. We desperately need rain but sadly none is forecast.
Have never enough of water lilies and lotus flowers! Beautiful capture, Jim, and thank you for catching these beauties for All Seasons! Have a great December week!
A wonderful view.
ReplyDeleteLovely! How are things over there Jim? I hope you guys get some much needed rain.

DeleteIn a densely populated and overly built-up city like Sydney, the Gardens, trees and ponds give refreshing space. Love it.
ReplyDeleteGlad I stopped by...sunny and bright in your neck of the woods...:)jp
