Hello friends and Hivians. Hope your all doing fine. I'm back again to show you some reflections this time with some American yellow lotus reflected in a nearby lake. This article will serve as my entry into the Reflection Hunters Contest ~ Round 181 hosted by @olgavita. Still a few days left if you want to join. Just make sure to follow the rules and guidelines in the post.
Well I decided to get out on the lake early it was about 7:00 a.m. when I arrived. I was initially looking for some neat shadows but that all changed when they seemed to be hidden. That become an after thought quickly as I seen some ever so cool reflections of so many lotus plants in the water. The Lotus plants here at this lake are of good size. Actually most are bunched together and look like floating fields of them on top of the water. Beauty that is tough to pick and place in vase, right?
Well the picture above is my entry photo. Surprisingly it was one of the first photos I took. A flower is beautiful on Its own but it being reflected on water is amazing to see as well. This morning reflections in the water were only coming from things located in it. I spent another 30 minutes or so looking and taking more photo reflections.
The sun was playing peak a boo with some clouds. Amazing enough some of the flowers of these plants were doing the same with it reflections. Hiding close to the pads as if it was hiding something underneath them.
Now if this would have had a bigger flower in the photo frame this would have been my entry. I love this reflection because you can even see the vein detail of the leaf in the reflection. I really wonder if the sun was brighter today how some of these would have turned out.
Now the easiest reflection photos to catch were those of the pads and it's leaves. Many looked like shadows but were not due to colors. A shadow can only be black now 😁
Well this pretty much wraps up what I will be sharing this time around for reflections. The beautiful weather and slight breeze and seeing these reflections really was fulfilling. It was a great way to start my day off. I ended up doing quite a bit more today that I will share another time. I hope you enjoyed them! Best of luck to all who entered the contest this week. Time for me to check them out in a bit 😁
Take care, stay safe and enjoy the rest of your weekend. Until next time!
