Pink Beauties

Golden Globe

I've been waiting for the lotus to bloom at Lilypons, and today they were magnificent.  Everything was at its best -- the lotus, the waterlilies, the singing frogs, the geese, and the dragonflies. 

There was a slight breeze, but it did not really interfere with getting sharp photos today, because the light was so bright that fast shutter speeds worked beautifully.

I met Sherry there, and together we walked from pond to pond, finding great reflections, beautiful leaves, clusters of wineberries, fluttering butterflies, and even a shade-seeking snake, coiled around one of the garden statuary next to a small pond.

Snake in the lap!

Texture added Lotus

Not much needs to be said about this walk.  Just enjoy the photos from today!

Save the date!  Monday, September 2, will be the last day of my year long photo walk project, and I'm planning a big celebration walk with anyone who wants to join me!  September 2 is also Labor Day, so many of you will have the day off.  The walk will be in downtown Frederick, around 9 a.m., followed by a brunch.  More details will be posted on my blog as they get confirmed.  But mark your calendars, grab your cameras, put on your walking shoes, and join me for my final Daily Photo Walk.  Let's jam the streets of Frederick with photo walkers!
