Visit the ice lotus

It is another season when lotus is the only pet. Since June, many photographers have taken active actions, and friends have also exposed various styles of lotus flowers. Of course, the level is different, including the original embryo, the matching of composition and object, and various photographic works combined with modern high-tech techniques, such as "out of context", "deep dissection" and "post-cleaning". The ancients once praised "sludge". However, the luxury of post-production abruptly brought the lotus into the ranks of "three-point demon near water".

? I have read a lot and have to comment on it, but I have never found a new angle to examine the lotus. After all, the history of treating lotus flowers as love praise is long enough. There are countless poems, songs and paintings, and I nag for the second time. If the first time was infected by the art of photography, then the second time was because of the rare variety of lotus "ice lotus".

Like the meticulous painting "A Hundred Butterflies in the West Lake", the types of butterflies and flowers reflect the author's ingenuity. And Bingxu Lian is probably the wisdom of the creator.

? Speaking of ice-ground connection, let's talk about Huajiachi Campus of Zhejiang University. We all know that it was the former Agricultural University. We wanted to visit Zhejiang University120th, but it was delayed. So when I heard that the ice lotus in Huajiachi campus was in bloom, I drove there without hesitation.

? The Huajiachi campus in summer is very beautiful. The beauty lies in that pool of clear water, that pool of islands and arc-shaped water lilies, which also perfectly explains Zhu Ziqing's youth and cicadas. Even in hot weather, I want to sit here and meditate.

The lotus land in Huajiachi is not big. The small lotus pond in front of the flagpole playground is obviously crowded with years of reproduction and growth, so lotus flowers and lotus flowers all rush to the clouds and nights, striving for the moisture of sunshine and rain, and have a different scenery from the lotus flowers in the West Lake. I guess that's not how ice love is conceived, is it? As a joke, ice love is a rare species after all, so people regard it as a symbol of auspiciousness and celebration, and it is the embodiment of kindness and beauty.

? When I went to the swimming pool for the first time, many photographers chatted while shooting, saying that the ice lotus was blooming for the first time. It was reported in the news of Aliutou in Hangzhou TV station, but the petals we saw opposite Bing Di Lian were all broken off. Another commentator said that it was in the morning and two students had to break up in order to do experimental research. The audience was a little sorry, but they still took pictures back and forth, and I was no exception.

There is more than one soldier brother in Huajiachi, because there is already a soldier brother Peng standing in the water. Facing the seemingly incomplete and almost perfect double lotus, I had a wonderful inspiration. At the same time, two other ice lotus pearls in bud have given us infinite reverie and expectation, looking forward to blooming tomorrow.

The second time, I heard that the ice lotus in Huajiachi was blooming again and braved the downpour to go to the pond. Coincidentally, the petals are still half-open with rain. Compared with the single branch, the bright yellow double heart really adds a bit of charm to the lotus. It's hard to imagine that it used to look like a lazy bud.

After the rain, Hang Cheng ushered in hot weather, and it is estimated that the remaining ice love will open, and I went to Huajiachi twice. The cicada still called for a while, and the burning sun burned the petals of a small lotus flower. After all, Dillian was tightly wrapped by stamens and did not open. The bulging buds are back to back, one facing east and the other facing west, as if one is waiting for the sunrise and the other is waiting for the sunset. In this way, they stood upright in the middle of the pool, escaped the fate of being broken by the pool, and did not show the true meaning of blooming. I am not without regrets, but I also look forward to the next year with regrets.

There is also a "commentator" who seems to be deliberately telling me that "the student who broke the lotus petals was criticized by the teacher and wrote a critical letter!" At this moment, I actually don't mind the petals being broken.

?

On a quiet night, sitting alone in front of the window, the fragrance of lotus flowers still stays in my nose. The lotus pond in Huajiachi was originally an experimental field, without the lotus leaf scenery of ten miles of lotus pond, but with the pride of a lotus flower in half an acre of Yaochi, which does not rely on green leaves to avoid the sun. Different soldiers should have the same heart. Blooming flowers should be back to back, but the petals look close to the heart. This is the lotus flower that Mr. Zhu Ziqing didn't expect to see by the lotus pond.
