SUMMARY:Field Trip: Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens
DESCRIPTION:Photo By: Rena Schild\nWe’re back with this club favorite\, Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens.  NVPS frequently visits this destination at this time of year because the lotus flowers and water lilies are in bloom.  If you haven’t got your flower shot for next season’s themed competition\, here is a great opportunity.  If you’re not into flowers\, consider the opportunities to capture images of dragon flies\, birds\, turtles\, frogs\, and more. \nWhat:  \nKenilworth Aquatic Gardens is home to heron\, birds\, dragon flies\, and amphibians.  You’ll also notice the rather obvious shallow ponds filled with lotus and water lilies. \nYou’re welcome to wander along the paths that separate the ponds in search of your next image.  When you’re done \nPhoto By: Steven Glintz\nwith the lotus and lilies\, you can take the boardwalk at the far end of the park out to a viewing platform where along the way you can typically find herons and other birds. \nThis is a very popular destination at this time of year.  Please be patient and locate your subjects while maintaining social distancing from other photographers.  The National Park Service warns that if the park becomes too crowded they may temporarily close the park gates to limit people on site. \nSunrise is expected at 5:52 a.m. (EDT) \nPhoto By: Rena Schild\nEquipment: \n\nAny lens between 24-200mm will satisfy most needs. Those with an interest in birding may want to bring a lens with 300+mm range.  A macro lens may also come in handy if you are interested in dragon flies.\nDon’t forget your polarizer and diffuser/reflector.\nTripods are allowed everywhere.\nBring a mask\, the National Park Service requires them.\nBug/tick spray and sunscreen.\nWater – the weather is expected to be very hot and humid.\n\nPhoto By: Steven Glintz\nWhen: \nSaturday\, July 10\, 2021 from 8am – 11am\nRain date on Sunday\, July 11\, 2021 from 8am – 11am \nWhere: \nWe’ll meet in the parking lot to share any updated news.  It’s only a couple minutes walk to the gardens. \nPlease note\, the visitor center\, restrooms\, and water fountain will be closed.  There will be porta potties. \nKenilworth Aquatic Gardens\n1550 Anacostia Avenue\, NE\nWashington DC 20019 \nParking is free. \nWe hope you can join us! \nRena Schild and Steven Glintz\nField Trip Coordinators 2021-2022
