Julz suggested a trip to the local water lily gardens today. This lotus is almost ready to drop its petals, and has lost the vibrant pink colour that it began with. We had a lovely time, but it was piping hot down near the lily ponds. Have a look at @julzmaioro as she has a shot of how it would have looked a few days ago.
Here it reads: "All lotus seeds contain the anti-aging enzyme L-isoaspartyl methyltransferase, which is said to help repair damaged proteins," Got to get some.
I tried to photograph some damselflies today, Kerry, and failed abysmally!
