This photograph was taken at Ofuna Flower Center, where I discovered a lotus flower with a slightly different shape than the others. I captured it with a soft background using a bokeh effect. Ofuna Flower Center is a beautiful botanical garden in Kamakura City, Kanagawa Prefecture, harmoniously integrated with nature. It's a hidden gem where you can enjoy photographing seasonal flowers. Tulips and cherry blossoms grace the garden in spring, lotus and hydrangeas in early summer, and sunflowers and cosmos in summer, vividly coloring the grounds.It's also highly regarded as a photo spot. By carefully considering the arrangement of flower beds and the angle of light, you can expand your photographic possibilities. Along with the flowers' beauty and seasonal charm, you can also enjoy the garden's atmospheric features, such as wind chimes, lawns, and ponds.
