This photograph captures mimosa blossoms just beginning to bloom alongside a lantern during the quiet morning hours. I focused on highlighting the mimosa's soft yellow hue, enveloped in gentle light, within the tranquil surroundings. The contrast between the fluffy buds and the first blooms, unique to this stage before full bloom, is particularly charming. The vivid yellow stands out strikingly against the serene atmosphere of the temple grounds.
