VIETNAM: LOTUS BLOSSOMS AND OTHER FLOWERS

Posted on 05:00 by shark


Another lazy blog. Just photos. But hey, they're of lotus (loti?) in Vietnam, plus gorgeous red peppers and other amazingly beautiful flowers. I only have an old Cannon and haven't figured out how to work PhotoShop so try and imagine what these would look like if I actually had a camera and weren't a techno nerd. :)













Next post, I promise I'll return to our interrupted tour of Vietnam and Cambodia. You gotta see Angor Watt!

Now, must sleep, must sleep. Zzzzzzzz......
