Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens III


There are plenty of traditional lilies in the park.  Most of the ponds have some trees around the edges so photographers can find spots where the lighting is better for taking photographs.


This is my favorite photo of a lily that I have taken.  I liked it so much, I had it printed large and it hangs in my living room.


Here is another photo of the gorgeous lotus blossoms.


The park sits on the edge of the Anacostia river which, believe it or not, is one of the nation's most polluted rivers. You have to wonder how much more beautiful could this place be if it were not polluted.

I'm going to do one more post tomorrow on this unusual park.
