Lotus ( lotus seed ) (at Sankeien in Yokohama city)
The intense heat calmed down, and the autumn wind started. Lotus flower opens so early in the morning, and closes soon. Took on October 3 2010 Thanks for viewing my photo.
I went to Sankeien, the beautiful historical garden with seasonal flowers and pond.
Flower time of lotus had already ended and I could see their seeds.
The seeds extended here and there among the big leaves.
They looked like funny faces. It was interesting view.

In flowering time, this garden opens earlier than usual for visitors.
Here is the photo of lotus I took early in the morning.
