I took morning walk along Carroll Creek Linear Park in downtown Frederick in the past two days. Water lilies in different varieties and colors were in full bloom and there were many dragonflies flying around.

Dragonflies and Lotus Leaves at Lilypons
As the weather gets hot many dragonflies appear in the lotus ponds. It’s also fascinated to find some leaves with raindrops reflecting the morning sun.
