Lotus & leaves II

Srikaanth from Bengalooru, India

Lotus takes birth in dirt, stays beautiful and fragrant, brings smile on the onlooker's faces, most importantly stays unattached to the dirt arround it.

Waterlets on the lotus leaves gets dropped out the moment wind flows or if something comes. These waterlets can never spread or be wetting a lotus leave. The flower is a mixture of rose's fragrance and lily's beauty as depicted by Wordswoth in one of his romantic poems.

All in all, great philosophy is derived around the lotus vein or flower. And that philosophy is wonderfully captured by your camera. Cheers!!

Lotus reminds me that philosophy.. iddre taavare ele tara irbeku.. kochche nalli idru antikolde.. which talks about be happy & detached amidst of worldy pains /pleasures... !

I hadn't thought of the lotus in this light before, but the comments from Veena and Srikaanth have brought it home. Lovely to see that pure white...
