Enjoy Life Among the Lotus Flower

A close-up composition centers a large coral-pink lotus blossom with yellow stamens beside a dark seed pod, set against broad blue-green leaves and a mottled blue-and-yellow water background. Below, a black-and-white bird with a long orange-red bill dips its head downward among green stems. Vertical calligraphy and a red seal appear at upper left, with a second red seal at lower right.
