8월 봉은사 마당에 핀 연꽃

             언제부터인가 여름이오면 봉은사 마당에는 이렇게 아름다운 연꽃들이 가득 피어있다.                   

      한창 피기시작하는 7월에는 양평의 두물머리를 찾았던 때가 있었는데, 올해는 얼마전에 청평을

                다녀오던 길에 잠깐 구경을 했었다.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         

진흙속에서 청정하고 맑은 향기를 품은 크고 넙적한 연잎사귀는 시원한 느낌을 준다.
