Lotus season

A flower so delicate that once you've picked them the leaves will fall off almost immediately (often with a little help from children, peeling them off is fun) and a smell so volatile it is almost gone before you can feel it. But oh, just perfect. And driving through the fields down by the lake on an early summer morning just a privilege.

Harvesting.

Even the trash is beautiful. And smells good.
