I live in southwest South Dakota, and I plan to travel to capture pictures of lotus flowers. Where are the best places for me to go, keeping in mind travel distance, and when should I go?

Chicago, New York, and Brooklyn Botanical Gardens but it’s winter now.

He can't believe you're taking a trip to photograph some flars (aka flowers). So he's trying to read between the lines, and suss out the real, unspoken motive for your trip. Certain topics can't be broached publicly.

Rofl. Well, nothing devious... For me, it's a reminder of something -- not going into more detail though.

I'm planning to make a 30x40 print and use a 100MP camera body to capture the image.

You need a lens too.

See?
Your story is so full of holes.

are you a professional or do you just have too much disposable income?

Are those exclusive? Lol.

I am a professional photographer and now videographer too. Mostly I shoot seniors and weddings.

But I'm not going to profit from shooting lotus flowers, so that falls under disposable income.

Where in Chicago would I find them?
Lincoln Park Conservatory or the Garfield Park Conservatory.

To be honest though I doubt you would need to go all that way to find a lotus to photograph. There's probably a Conservatory in Sioux Falls or somewhere much closer.

Schamuburg--not at all Chicago, but north of it--has a Japanese garden with lotus flowers. I believe the botanical garden that IW refers to is in Lincoln park.

Also, are you going to be doing some stripping on this trip?

If you can make it to Santa Barbara California


This is an amazing botanical garden with a huge Lotus pond. However the timing of the blooms is difficult to predict. Anywhere from June through September.

How do you play a game with cards like that in your deck, because your opponent knows what it is due to being the only card in your hand sealed in an air-tight, 3" lucite case?
As valuable as they are, people stopped putting them in their active decks.
The expenses are the main reason I quit playing for that matter.

This member of the Water Lily group is recognized by large, umbrella-like leaves and the inverted, cone-like structure in the middle of the flowers. It covers extensive areas along the Mississippi River from Ontario, Iowa, and Wisconsin southward.

Not sure if serious...

You can just use a proxy. Usually you just write on a land card the card you want to represent. There are dual sided cards now that require proxy use or opaque sleeves as they don't have the standard backs.
