七月，又是一年荷塘最美的季节；

        七月，又是一年摄郎拍荷的季节；

        小时候在老家的乡下，家家户户的房前屋后都有或大或小的一片荷塘，每到夏天，亭亭玉立的荷花争奇斗艳，蜂飞蝶舞，青蜓往复，轻风摇曳，很是美丽。倒不是乡亲们有赏荷的雅兴，而是种上莲藕，待收获以后作为餐桌上的美味佳肴，炒着吃香脆，煲着吃酥爽，炖汤吹粉软，也许用料、火候、配菜没有大饭店里那么讲究，但无论怎么做，即使是最原始的作法，莲藕都是一盘好菜，深受人们喜欢！

        后来南下广东以后，莲藕常吃，而荷花却不常看，繁花的都市里，只有临湖的公园，或者收费的景区，才能一睹“君子之花“的美丽，即便如此，每逢荷花盛开的季节，渝帆还是一定会抽时间去赏一赏，拍一拍，否则心里总感觉欠着自己什么似的。

       广州周边有不少赏荷的地方，除却市区一些公园小规模的观赏点以外，三水的荷花世界，东莞桥头的莲湖，番禺的莲花山都是主打荷花景观的著名景点，而且每年夏天都会举办荷花节、莲花节、旅游节等活动，除了可以欣赏到我们日常所见的荷花外，还可以欣赏到很多全球各地非常珍稀的荷花品种，都非常有规模，还配合有一些摄影、绘画、表演等各种活动，从而引得四面八方的游客慕名前往。

       以下这组照片是渝帆于7月9日在广州莲花山所拍摄，与友分享：

PS：广州莲花山风景区位于番禺市的东郊，距离广州市区20千米。莲花山原名“石狮头”,是古代石矿场，因采石后留下来的石头似出水芙蓉（莲花）状而得名。远自西汉时期，先民们在此大规模地开采石料，形成悬崖峭壁、奇岩异洞，如莲花石、燕子岩、八仙岩、莲花岩、观音岩、飞鹰岩、南天门、神仙桥等。这里一年一度的莲花节非常出名，荷花种类多、规模大，参与性强，有一些步道可以走到荷塘的中间，近距离的观赏荷花，深受摄影爱好者的喜欢。
