Thinking about the fact that this new moon, the sixth new moon of the year in the Chinese calendar, is known as the Lotus Moon.I took this photo of the water lilies in the wading pool at Volunteer Park after enjoying Fleeting Pleasures, the exhibit of woodblock prints at the Seattle Asian Art Museum. I think the beautiful design aesthetics of those prints influenced the composition.
During the lotus moon, I always spend at least a day on the water in a kayak or rowboat visiting the water lilies that thrive on Lake Washington. For more on water lilies and lotuses, read the article I wrote on the flower of July.
