I was thinking about why I love photographing flowers so much. I guess it's partly because their beauty is so ephemeral. Then I read Guy Tal's excellent blog (a photographer who writes quite eloquently) discussing the transience of things. I won't even try to summarize what he wrote. Instead, I recommend that you read it:

The Chicago Botanic Garden has a number of lovely waterlilies. I loved the simple lines and soft colors of this lotus.
