Entry #2 Water Garden Lotus

Is a model release on file if needed? (Yes/No/NA) 

None needed

What day was the photo taken? 

July 8, 2010

Photo Description 

This is a Lotus with a water lily and lily pads blurred in the background at our friends water garden (pond). These are some of the prettiest and unique flowers. They open in the morning and close at night, then after a couple of days all the petals fall off leaving only the center pod standing. Very interesting flowers, tropical I think.
