I know this probably doesn’t make sense, but as Christmas gets close, I can’t help thinking of the place that has all the water lilies and lotus flowers that usually opens on Boxing Day, the day after Christmas. I think it is called The Blue Lotus Water Gardens.
I haven’t been for a few years. I had planned on going last time it was open, but it just didn’t happen. The weather wasn’t great, but I think I might try and get there again this time when it is open. It is only open for 3 to 4 months a year.
I decided to go through some older photos and then opened them in ON1 to see what I could do with them. Here are the results.
beautiful
Thanks Brenda.
There are many kinds of flowers, in all colours and shapes, but the water lily speaks to me more than any other – and you’ve captured some truly beautiful examples here. Have a great day ! Marc.
There is something very ethereal about them, I have to agree, I can’t wait to go back soon. Thank you so much Marc.
Stunning shots of these beautiful flowers – they look rather ethereal in these edits!
Thank you so much Sarah.

Lovely photos, Leane, and lovely the notion of opening lotus and lilies on Boxing Day. How very heartening.
I like how you have put that Tish, thank you so much.
When out in swamps everything stops when Ellen spots Water Lilies.
I don’t blame her Ted.
pretty
Thank you Sue.
How very lovely, Leanne – both your photos and the Boxing Day water lily opening. So heartening at the close of the year and start of the new.
Thank you Tish, it is nice that I have that to look forward to.
Beautiful Leanne. I always have time for water lilies. Have a great day. Allan
Me too Allan, they are always great to photograph, thank you.
