  This is exquisite, Shelly! I would love to see pink lotuses... in the wild (here) they are almost always white and very seldom so pristine. Bugs tend to much on them for dinner and birds do use the marsh for ... um... a toilet?? LOL! They are still gorgeous in the wild but for close ups, "time to use the healing brush!" I love this one, it's sheer perfection. Just magnificent!
