    It is so nice to have beautiful flowers to admire in a place of prayer and contemplation. The beauty of ruby is where it is used is holy, indeed…

    Lotus is always considered holy in most religions across the world. Brings serene scenes to mind!

    I love your photo today. It’s my understanding lotus blossoms thrive in mud. Is this so?

    Just one little corner can give the impression of serenity. Red is always a joyful color but not always a party. Nice photo.
