Sacred Lotus





We went on a small field trip out to a park to check out a sacred lotus garden. The seeds have been known to last a long, looong time... the oldest being 1300 years!
















Anyway... the lotus flowers open every morning, so we got an early start... which was good as that meant we had time to visit the train museum on the way back to Kawagoe.

Oh... and most of these pics were taken on my Olympus 1030. Most of the good macro shots anyway. That's about the only thing it's good for... and it's semi-waterproof. It's proved to not be so waterproof 3 times already on this trip, and we've had to deal with that...

Speaking of waterproof, look at those lotus leaves! If someone wants to create something better than Gore-tex they should learn how to mimic the lotus leaf.
