The many-shadowed water lilies

We went back to the 700-acre Kenilworth Park and Aquatic Gardens in Washington, D.C., to see the lotuses and water lilies in advance of their annual festival last weekend, mainly to avoid the horrendous parking problems during the event.

It’s an amazing area within the D.C. city limits and only a 12-minute drive from our house. We need to go there more often!

Almost there, posted earlier:

I don't think I have seen blue water lilies, but they are stunning in this lovely shot. An appealing shade of blue too. V
