Oh, what a beauty!

My beautiful double lotus has not made an appearance for quite a while, that I had forgotten how utterly captivating she can be. I am so happy that she has come for a short stay. With the kind of wind we're getting today, her petals will all probably be blown away by tomorrow. So I'll just treasure these shots I have taken today until she comes back again on another visit!
