This plant is an aquatic perennial and under favourable circumstances its seeds may remain viable for many years, with the oldest recorded lotus germination being from seeds 1,300 years old recovered from a dry lakebed in China. The roots of the lotus plant are in the soil of the pond or river bottom, while its leaves float on the top of the water surface or are held well above it. The flowers are usually found on thick stems rising several centimetres above the leaves. Researchers reported that the lotus has the remarkable ability to regulate the temperature of its flowers to within a narrow range and it is suspected that the flowers may be doing this to attract cold blooded insects.

These interesting ice pods formed on the sides of Horsetail Falls during a deep freeze. Columbia River Gorge, Oregon
These plants are producing pods in a neighbor's yard in Santa Rosa, Sonoma County, California. Taken with my iPhone 14 Pro Max set to macro and raw.
Technical note: The image is a triple exposures tonemapped in Photomatix. Furthermore, a few layers of curves, levels, hue/saturation, added a vignette. Did the final color adjustments in Lightroom with a preset a found that simulates the look of the famous Velvia film.

Po skončení provozu brejlovců ČD na Slovensku se dříve plzeňské stroje rozprchly po růných pracovištích po celé ČR. Lokomotiva 754.029 našla nový domov pod DKV Olomouc, kde se ale dlouho nezdržela a v březnu se vrátila zpět do DKV Plzeň.

Walking around on the east side of the river we found this garden restaurant just under Charles' bridge. This is an area with a lot of tourists, however I managed to get a fairly clean shot with only the crew of the small boats travelling on Čertovka (Devil's Channel).

This pod was one of the first to form on our tree this year. Most of the time it looked like the immature pod in the preceding shot.
at the orchid show last weekend, went 2 days in row, took a bunch of shots, this is one of the few I liked.
Eu poderia inventar, dizer que ele é um herói veterano da Baía dos Porcos, que o fotografei quando passei em Playa Girón, mas não seria verdade. Só sei que o encontramos na cidade de Santa Clara, ao descer do mausoléu do Che, a caminho do museu erguido nos trilhos do trem.....foi aqui a vitória crucial, onde a coluna comandada pelo médico argentino interceptou o trem blindado, carregado de armas, que seguia para Havana.
Este senhor, descansado e tranquilo em frente de casa, certamente viu a revolução triunfar em 1959.

Banksia is a genus of around 170 species in the plant family Proteaceae. These Australian wildflowers and popular garden plants are easily recognised by their characteristic flower spikes and fruiting "cones" and heads. Banksias range in size from prostrate woody shrubs to trees up to 30 metres tall.
Eve is a 9 year old rescue greyhound. She is a local girl that raced in Alberta for the last 9 years. I (and Hallbadorn) have had her for 1 week now. She is slowly adjusting to house life, but really only feels safe when she is in her crate. To help with the adjustment we thought she should have a crate buddy. So Paulie the Polar Bear is now her new friend.
Here is Eve Large in all her Glory!!
As to the shot, I was finding it surprisingly difficult to get a decent photo of Eve. Ultimately I had to pull out the Alien Bee strobe to light the shot. Not my best work, but my Mom wanted to see her so up the photo goes!
All comments and feedback are greatly appreciated!
