The lotus flowers are out (they have pink and white ones), plus many other water lilies. I do love their luminous quality. One of these days I want to paint a triptych with them as a subject.
We also saw frogs in the pools near the entrance. Funnily enough I didn't notice them at first but as we waited for DH to try and capture some damselflies I suddenly noticed them! Just goes to show it is worth stopping, being quiet and still in such places instead of rushing about.
I'm participating in a Daily portrait challenge so I made DS take this one at 1.11pm on 1/1/2011 just for the record.
DD (and DS) got a bit fed up with it all eventually and claimed to be "totally bored". However, I managed to persuade DD to pose under this lotus leaf umbrella.
From a photographic point of view it was a successful day - DH has posted some results on his photostream if you'd like to see.
Nice photos and looks like a lovely place to visit
ReplyDeletelooks divine - thanks Penny, will add it to my list of possible places to visit when we hit NZ in February :)
ReplyDeleteLooks a lovely place to visit. Nice pic of you too. I didn't get any pics yesterday (or today!) Sigh ... little boys have had haircuts though so need to get a pic of that ... and all three kids have bruises, especially M & S, so must unpack the camera! (still haven't fully unpacked from holiday hehee)
