6:57 am: I’ve been going to the pond first thing in the morning, camera in hand, to shoot the lotus blossoms against the raising sun.

7:19 am: After breakfast I go back to the pond some more.

7:45 am: Back from the garden. I brought in today’s harvest and I’m running a mental list of garden chores for the day. I stop by the pond before heading down to the garden.

9:36 am: Garden chores done. The light is getting harsh. Last photo stop at the pond for the day.

Throughout it all I am not alone.

Great photos, Angela….and I love the little frog! Is he smiling?

He might be shaking his head at the bizarre things humans do.

Stunning lotus blooms Angela! We had waterlilies in our last pond, but no lotus…but our darned duck ate them all! I love your little green friend lurking amidst the foliage.

Oh no! You thought you had beautiful lilies but you really were just feeding your duck!
