What is it about the Lotus flower that makes us feel calm?
I did a little research and learned that at night the flower closes and sinks to the muddy depths of ponds and streams. When dawn comes the Lotus rises to the top and opens again. The Egyptians regarded the flower as a symbol of the sun, creation, and rebirth. OK, enough research, share your Tuesday Sweet shots and Today in your part of the globe!
So glad you like the theme this week. Beautiful capture.
ReplyDeleteWe have a koi pond in our yard with both lotus flowers and waterlillies. Sometimes I am amazed by creation, really, a floating flower, how cool is that?
