It’s July! Which means the lotus blossoms will soon be blooming at Kenilworth Park and Aquatic Gardens in Washington DC. The lotuses bloom through most of July and August at Kenilworth -and are one of the best flower sites to see in the DC area.

I head into Kenilworth Gardens several times each summer. This year – I’m planning on going with the DC Flower Safari on Saturday July 13 and it’s likely to be one of the places we photograph during my Capturing Nature’s Peaceful Beauty workshop on July 19-21. Plus I’m sure I’ll head in a few more times – just to enjoy the beauty of the lotus blossoms.

To give you an idea of how wonderful it is to see the lotus blossoms at Kenilworth Gardens – here are a few of the photos I took there last summer.

Over the years, I have created some wonderful photographs of Lotus Blossoms at Kenilworth Gardens. Several of them are available as gallery-wrapped canvases through the Lotus Gallery on my website.
