Pure and clear

My favourite flowers are roses and lotus flowers. I love roses for their romance and floral fragrance. I love lotus flowers for their symbolism and the way they live. 

They are always associated with purity as they emerge for murky mud majestically, symbolizing spiritual awakening, rebirth and willpower.

Here's some of the beauties I have met, all in different locations. Some of them might not be living but still beautiful. For example the pinkish white plastic lotus I found in Chatuchak market has constantly become  my favourite prop. Ahem.

In whatever form they may be, their beauty and elegance constantly amaze me.

And that was a pool of lotus flowers and flowers grown from fruits.

I saw this purple lotus in the Royal Palace of Bangkok last December. It's my favourite of the whole batch, and currently my laptop wallpaper. The flower was blooming as perfect as it could be, allowing its beauty to be embraced and shared by other creatures. 

The bees were diligently working and buzzing around, didn't even care about all camera lenses that were focusing on them. They were so focused and working hard. 

Regardless of how the world sees you, just focus on what you should do. And continue to be on the right path.

I love the purity and clarity of lotus flower.
