Dragonflies III
July is always the good time to photograph dragonflies near the water, such as Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens and Lilypons Water Gardens. Over the years I have taken many of them and here are a few to share with you.
Lotuses and Dragonflies

More Orchid Photos
Orchid is a beautiful flower but I always have problems in creating more artistic image. I guess I have to keep trying. For feature photo I tried using the multiple exposure feature with my Nikon D600 camera.
Water Lily
Water lilies start to bloom now before the lotus. I visited the nearby Lilypons Water Gardens this morning and despite the ill maintenance (lately) gardens I managed to capture a few shots I like.
