Fantastic, Carolyn. The lotus is just gorgeous but then you caught that little bee, too. Hooray for sewage, huh! #267599

Super capture, Carolyn. It almost seems as though the lily is floating in mid-air. #1508993

'Bee'utiful, as always, Carolyn. I hope you weren't crawling around on your tummy to get this shot, eh… Well done, my very dear friend - your good friend, Allan #1509513

I was waiting for you to go back here! The clarity and color are stunning and the bee is a wonderful bonus! Gorgeous! -K #1509525

Carolyn M. Fletcher level-classic June 23, 2005

Thanks Allan, Cathy and Kelly. No, the flowers are all at eye level or higher. You have to hold the camera over your head in some cases. There's only certain places you can stand without getting your feet in the sewage. So not necessary to crawl around thank heavens. #1509540
