~ Nelumbo Nucifera ~
At this time of year the "Lotus Pond" located with-in
Adelaide's Botanical Gardens is awash with pink
It's a place I go back to many times during our Summer months
endeavouring to capture a different perscpective
of this exquiste flower
Brushstrokes of pink
The Sacred Lotus is the national flower
of both India and Vietnam
Linking with
"Our World Tuesday"

Brushstrokes of Pink....great description of these magnificent flowers and super photos. I love your new header too.
I agree. Brush strokes is the perfect description for these wonderful close ups of this magnificent flower.
Absolutely beautiful Diane; would love to be there for that moment with a camera too; such fun.
Absolutely stunning Dianne - both the postings and your new header!
So beautiful Dianne, the petals really do looks as they they are showing brush strokes.
Thanks for these lovely pictures, this is a very beautiful special delicate flower.

And you are successful in getting superb captures, Dianne!! Such an exquisite flower and color! Terrific detail in your pics!! Have a great week!
Both of these images are so gorgeous!!! I love the second one better, because I get to see more of the detail in the petals!!!
It is quite the colour!! You did well to capture it. Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
The lotus flowers are beautiful! I love the pretty colors. Lovely photos, thanks for sharing.
Magnificent photos of the lovely pink flowers.
Such magnificent pink hues- brushstrokes indeed.
I can clearly see the brush strokes on these petals. Nature has an infinite pallet and, in this case, a very elegant and gentle touch.
stunning. Beautiful flowers and beautiful images.
I am assuming Adelaide Australia? I have just joined Our World Tuesday. It is great to meet another Aussie. Have a wonderful week.
Yes, like strokes of brush. Fantastic shots!
Just breathtaking!
You have really figured out this macro thing, Dianne.
Beautifully brushed, so lovely and serene, sigh.
Utterly fabulous shots!
They look like delicately painted porcelain!
It does seem that there is a very deliberate brushed effect of pink tone on these exquisite petals! Very beautiful! I would be taking heaps of photos too!
The Lotus is one of nature's loveliest blooms, in my opinion. And, you have truly done it justice with your photography!
It's wonderful!
Really wonderful!!
