This photograph captures a single giant water lily blooming beautifully in the early morning at Chiba Park, when most flowers were still closed.Typically reaching their peak bloom from mid-June to early July, the giant water lilies accentuate their beauty amidst the morning stillness. The flowers, opening slowly with the sunrise, are striking with their pale pink petals and stately stems. Their reflection on the water's surface and the harmony with the green surroundings lend depth to the photograph.
