We’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.<\/p>\n

What: <\/strong><\/p>\n

Kenilworth 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.<\/p>\n

You’re welcome to wander along the paths that separate the ponds in search of your next image.  When you’re done<\/p>\n

with 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.<\/p>\n

This is a very popular destination at this time of year<\/em>.  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.<\/p>\n

Sunrise is expected at 5:52 a.m. (EDT)<\/p>\n
