Summer is the season when lotus flowers bloom. The lotus leaves connecting the sky are endless green, and the lotus flowers reflecting the sun are particularly red.

The large green lotus leaves set off the white lotus flowers in the powder

The bright petals look even more delicate and fragrant

Lotus flowers bathe in the sun and dance gently

In the thin shadow of the lotus leaf, thousands of white and flawless flowers soared into the sky

The air is filled with the fragrance of lotus flowers. "A gust of wind comes and the blue waves turn, and the pearls fall and are difficult to clean up."

The sun shines on the water, and the breeze blows by, creating ripples

Pearl-like droplets of water sway on the delicate lotus leaf

Lotus, which belongs to the Nymphaeaceae, is the general name for two species of plants in the genus Lotus. Also known as lotus flower, water lotus, etc. Lotus is a traditional and famous flower in our country. The flowers have delicate leaves, and the fragrance of flowers is overflowing, exuding people's hearts. It has the temperament of facing the scorching sun without fear, and rising out of the mud without staining it.

According to Buddhist legends, the world of the Western Pure Land is full of lotus flowers. In Buddhism, dust represents the troubles in the world. The characteristics of lotus flowers that emerge from the mud without being stained break people's obsession with trouble and lead the soul to eternal purity and unity.

The cleanliness of the lotus has touched the eyes of Chinese people who pursue beauty, which stems from its special water-resistant cuticle structure. The spiritual symbol of the lotus flower has made the Chinese people's love for it for 1500 years.

Lotus flowers have been deeply loved by literati and literati since ancient times. Nowadays, it is even more popular among everyone. It has become an urban tourism and cultural festival with the theme of lotus flowers or a lotus festival every summer held in various places. The beauty of lotus flowers is used to attract tourists and citizens and friends, and it is also brought to photography enthusiasts. A good place to enjoy and take photos of lotus flowers.

The flowering period of lotus flowers is from June to September (July and August are the most beautiful), and the best to enjoy lotus flowers is in the morning and after rain.

When it comes to appreciating lotus flowers, the first thing that Shanghainese think of may be Guyi Garden, but many people don't know that in Yangpu Xinjiangwan City Park, it is also a good choice to admire lotus flowers that stand tall and move in the wind.

We originally planned to go to Guyi Garden to watch the "2020 Lotus and Water Lily Exhibition", but we missed the entire exhibition due to this year's "Violent Plum" and the "Plum End" plum season. Enjoy a lotus flower at the nearby "Yangpu Xinjiangwan City Park"

Shanghai Xinjiangwan City Park is located in Xinjiangwan City, which was the former site of Jiangwan Military Airport. Because it is a military facility, more than 60 years of closure have kept the land in its original ecological appearance, with lush vegetation, vertical ditches, and abundant wildlife resources. It is the only original ecological wetland in urban Shanghai

Xinjiang Bay was named after the first big turn at the mouth of the Huangpu River. The Yangtze River Estuary and the Huangpu River Estuary are superimposed on the original Jiangwan Airport and some surrounding plots.

Jiangwan is a thousand-year-old town with 9000 acres of prosperous land and running water from the Huangpu River. It has a profound historical and cultural heritage. Han Shizhong, a famous anti-Jin general in the Song Dynasty, once stationed troops here. The original site of the famous Buddhist temple Jade Buddha Temple is also located here. Zhu Ziqing, Ye Shengtao and Xia Yan once founded Lida College here. Therefore, Jiangwan has been full of merchants in history and is a battleground for merchants. It is the famous "Tongjiang Bay".

There are very few tourists in the park, and it feels quiet and comfortable. It is simply a natural oxygen bar!

Walking straight along the main entrance of the park, you will reach the waters where lotus flowers are in full bloom. The water surface is relatively wide, and there is a hydrophilic platform with a circle of steps, forming a beautiful semi-arc around the lake.

Affected by the violent plum blossoms and the finished plum blossoms, this year's lotus blossoms are not in full bloom.

There are many small wooden platforms, close to the water and plants. When you approach the lotus pond, the first thing you see is the endless lotus leaves, like a green ocean.

Some lotus leaves only show a little tender tip, which is very cute

Some have grown to the size of a palm, and the breeze blows, swaying in the wind, standing tall;

Some have grown into "big jade plates" and are full of vitality.

The lotus leaves are squeezed together, as if they are a group of brothers and sisters, whose hearts are connected and close.

At this time, a gust of wind blew, and the "green ocean" suddenly rose and fell, and the lotus leaves were writhing one after another, which was extremely beautiful.

The wind stopped and the "green ocean" calmed down again. The water droplets on the leaves are rolling slowly, crystal clear, like beautiful pearls. It's really "a gust of wind comes and the blue waves turn, and the pearls fall and are difficult to clean up."

The ship comes in and relies on the lotus

Lotus flowers are in all kinds of shapes, and some only have a white bud in the green. They are shy and want to speak, and they are ready to bloom

Some are only halfway open, some petals fall apart, and others are clustered around the stamens, like a beauty in her clothes;

Those who are fully opened are like girls dancing

Huge and beautiful lotus flowers have gone through the moment of brilliant bloom. After the petals have withered, they appear in the form of lotus blossoms full of fruits.

Falling flowers deliberately

Lotus petal flying boat

There are still some petals that have all fallen off, revealing a green lotus. The small holes on the lotus seeds seem to be small mouths that are opening their throats and shouting,"I'm mature, come and pick them!"

Lotus and lotus

In addition to the slender lotus flowers in the lotus pond, birds, frogs, dragonflies, and bees shuttle through them, adding a bit of interest to the lotus pond; the lotus pond is also full of vitality and vitality because of them.

The lotus gives off a fresh and elegant fragrance, attracting bees to dance and play in it, making it pleasing to the eye.

The naughty dragonfly flapped its wings and flew from one flower to another, playing happily with the lotus. I was intoxicated and felt that the lotus flower in front of me was a graceful lotus fairy dancing.

"Little lotus only showed its sharp horns, and dragonflies had already stood on it." It comes from "Xiaochi" by Yang Wanli in the Southern Song Dynasty. This poem expresses the author's love for life. Through describing the spring water, shade, lotus, and dragonflies in the small pool, it paints us a simple, natural and vivid picture with infinite vitality.

"Little lotus only showed its sharp horns, and dragonflies had already stood on it." Throughout the summer in the lotus pond, dragonflies flew gracefully like this. One flower, one world, one scene, one heaven. These beautiful dragonflies fly gracefully and freely under the blue sky, just like beautiful girls, showing their beautiful charm and the brilliance of life this summer.

"Little lotus only showed its sharp horns, and dragonflies had already stood on it." As a result, wonderful reveries and beautiful poems burst out in the poet's heart, and the dragonflies flew into the Tang and Song poems. In the morning light and dusk of June, dragonflies fly over the lotus pond like this. On the tip of the small lotus and on the green lotus leaves, they jump up and down, look left and right, and scratch the water, playing to their heart's content.

Dragonflies, Invertebrates, Arthropoda, Insecta, Subclass Ptera, Odonata, Suborder Heteroptera, divided into Chariidae and Smelliidae. Dragonflies can be divided into the suborder of the dragonflies and the suborder of the homoptera. Dragonflies are one of the oldest insects. In ancient times, dragonflies fossils of more than 60 centimeters long prove that dragonflies have existed on earth for more than 100 million years.

Dragonflies are the insect with the most eyes in the world. Dragonflies have large and bulging eyes, occupying most of the head. They have three single eyes and a compound eye consists of more than 28000 small eyes. They have excellent vision and can also look up, down, forward and backward without having to turn their heads. In addition, their compound eyes can also measure speed. When an object moves in front of the compound eye, each "small eye" responds in turn, and the movement speed of the target object can be determined after processing. This makes them master insect traps in the insect world.

Dragonflies are different from many other creatures. Their eggs hatch in water, and their larvae also live in water, so they are actually laying eggs when they are in water. Female dragonflies lay eggs in the water, and most of them use their tails to touch the water surface while flying to expel the eggs. Our common so-called "dragonfly skimming the water" is its performance when laying eggs.

Dragonflies are typical incompletely deformed insects. They transform from larvae to adults without going through the process of pupation. They go through only three stages in their lives: egg, larva and adult. Dragonfly larvae are aquatic, while adults are land insects with flying capabilities. Every time I read,"Little lotus only showed its sharp horns, and dragonflies had already stood on it." When the time comes, my mind will show the posture of a dragonfly dancing above the lotus pond.

"Little lotus only showed its sharp horns, and dragonflies had already stood on it.", "The lotus leaves are infinitely green, and the lotus flowers reflecting the sun are particularly red." The lotus reflects the sun, the leaves and flowers embrace each other, and the ones that have already opened bloom with the most gorgeous beauty under the scorching sun, exuding a humorous fragrance, making people feel relaxed and happy. Perhaps the most vibrant place in summer is this blooming lotus pond. There are not only beautiful lotus flowers in the lotus pond, but also flying dragonflies.

Yes! Dragonflies are dancers in the lotus pond. The lotus is quiet. With the dragonflies, the frozen scenery becomes lively. The dragonfly skims on the water and sets off circles of ripples. The dragonfly landed on the tip of the lotus, and the lotus swayed gently. Movement and stillness play a harmonious melody. The red and yellow wings of the dragonfly, the green of the lotus leaves and the elegant of the lotus flowers form a different scenery.

The dragonfly is like a small airplane. It is small and exquisite and flies freely in the air. Sometimes it can stay in the air like a helicopter. Its flying technology is really amazing. No wonder people call it "The Little Overlord in the Sky","King of Flight", etc. It can slightly shake its wings to make a sharp 180-degree turn and perform a figure 8 movement at the same time.

In my mind, dragonflies are the most outstanding pilots and dancers. The flying speed of dragonflies is also very amazing, capable of flying 5 to 10 meters per second, reaching tens of meters per second when flying at high speed, and flying continuously for a long time. If dragonflies compete with bees and butterflies, then dragonflies must be the champion.

The dragonflies spread their wings like flowers, and their bodies are light and graceful to form lotus couples. Italian love is red and thin shadows fly, and love bells are green and soft shoulders are lifted. Tilt yourself in the water to make waves and strings, spread your wings to support the wind and convey your thoughts. Drunken in the ripples of drunkenness brings dreams to life, courtly surrounds Yan's heart. Yes, it is a beautiful lotus pond and colorful dragonflies. In the song "Dream Drunken Lotus Pond", the dragonflies show their lightness of "flying on the water". They perform a ballet on the water in the lotus pond. This is really a beautiful lotus. Attracting the flies, dancing and dancing.

There are also damselflies in the lotus pond. Caenagrion belongs to the class Insecta, the order Dragonflies, and the suborder Scylla, collectively known as cōng. She is petite and has wings tied above her back when resting. There are large and small ones common in my country. Flying insect with a slender and weak body that resembles a small dragonfly but is not a dragonfly.

Damselflies are a bright-colored carnivorous insect. Damselflies have a slender body, developed compound eyes on both sides of the head, chewing mouthparts, bristles, similar shapes in front and rear wings, square in the wing veins, and wings with handles. They belong to the order of Dragonflies. The difference from dragonflies is that the damselflies stretch and fold together when resting, and the damselflies have almost the same size, while the two rear wings of the dragonfly are slightly longer and wider than the two front wings. Most of them are smaller than dragonflies. The smallest damselflies are 1.5cm long, and the largest can reach 6- 7cm. Due to its beautiful body, bright colors, and changeable wings, many enthusiasts at home and abroad like to watch it.

The reason why damselflies are seen at the water's edge is because female damselflies, like most dragonflies, also lay eggs by watering water and are usually laid in water; some use oviposers to inject eggs into water plants and submerged in the stems of water plants or plants. Some follow the water grass, swim under the submerged water and use an ovipositor to inject eggs into the stems. Because damselflies live in the water, most female insects are accustomed to stopping on rocks and debris near the water, with short stomachs. Like dragonflies, the male damselfly's reproductive organs are located on the male's abdomen, while the female damselfly's reproductive organs are located at the end of the tail. Therefore, when mating, the female damselfly uses its curved abdomen to reach the male damselfly's reproductive organs to facilitate mating.

Black water pheasant: Gruiformes gt; Rallidae gt; Gallinula, also known as red-crowned water pheasant, red-boned top, red-bird, and river pheasant, is a medium-sized wading bird. Everything is generally black. The mouth is red, the tip of the mouth is yellow, and the feet are green. It spreads all over the world and winters south of 32 degrees north latitude. It is common in lakes, ponds and canals. It is not good for flying. It runs for a long distance on the water before taking off. Black water pheasants have been included in the national three protected birds.

The nestlings of black moorhen are black, with a small piece exposed on the top of their head, flesh-color, red beak, and yellow beak. (Most chicks of the rail family are all black)

The chicks and sub-adults of black moorhen turn gray-white, and the upper bodies are gray-brown, which is very different from the all-black adult birds. Flying feathers are dark and brown. The throat is gray white, the chest is brown, and the back chest and abdomen are gray white. The mouth is relatively dim and has no red crown.

3 The adult bird turns black again and has a red crown.

I hope the baby will grow up quickly, take more pictures

On the other side of the lotus pond, there is a black water pheasant. I wonder if it has anything to do with the family of five.

There are spotted ducks in the lotus pond

The spotted duck (scientific name: Anas poecilorhyncha) belongs to a large duck, with a body size similar to that of a mallard duck, a body length of 50-64 centimeters and a weight of about 1 kilogram. Male and female feathers are similar in color. The upper mouth is black, the apex is yellow, the feet are orange-yellow, the face to the neck, the eyes first, the eyebrow lines, the chin and the throat are all light yellow white, and they look white from a distance, which is in clear contrast with the deep body color. They usually inhabit freshwater lakes and also move in groups in rivers, lakes, reservoirs, bays and coastal tidal flats and other waters. Ducks have webbed toes, but they rarely dive. When swimming, their tails are exposed to the water. They are good at foraging, playing in the water and mating in the water. I like to be clean, often combs my feathers in the water and on land and dresses up carefully, and look after each other while sleeping or resting. They eat plants as their staple food and also eat invertebrates and crustaceans. Distributed in southeastern Siberia, eastern Mongolia, Sakhalin Island, China, Korea, Japan, Indochina Peninsula, Myanmar, India, Nepal, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka.

Water striders are aquatic Hemiptera insects, Hemiptera, Strideridae. The scientific name is Aquarlus elongatus, which inhabits still water surfaces or slow-flowing water surfaces of streams. The body is slender and very light; the front feet are short and can be used to catch prey; the middle and rear feet are very slender and have oily hair and are waterproof. The body color is dark brown and the body length is about 22 mm. You can also live on land for a while.

The platform in the northeast corner is closest to flowers and birds. When I met a photographer who came to take pictures of birds, with a tripod and equipment bag, I would stay in that position for the entire afternoon and be happy with the wonderful moments I photographed. Such a life, thinking about it, is very peaceful and beautiful.

Hibiscus flowers bloom in green areas

Hibiscus is the national flower of South Korea, also known as the infinite flower. Many people in South Korea have the word hibiscus in their names. I wonder if it has any connection with hibiscus? The flower language of hibiscus flowers is: gentle persistence. The hibiscus flowers fall towards the opening ceremony, but each time they fade is for the next time to bloom more brilliantly.

Climbing tetrix of the hibiscus tree, Climbing tetrix, is what Henan people call cicada larvae. It is regarded as a delicacy in Henan, Shandong, Hebei and other regions. Now the main producing area is Henan, Shandong and other regions. In recent years, more and more places have joined the army of eating Climbing tetrix, resulting in a decrease in the production of Climbing tetrix and an increase in prices.
