It was hot and humid when I visited Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens for photographing the lotuses last weekend. Apparently it was the kind of weather that attracted so many dragonflies.

I went back to Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens yesterday (2019.6.29). Thousands of lotuses are blooming in peak conditions and are simply gorgeous. Hope they will last for at least two more week when the Annual Lotus Festival will be held.
While visiting Kenilworth aquatic Gardens last Sunday, I also captured several images of beautiful water lilies.

July is always the good time to photograph dragonflies near the water, such as Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens and Lilypons Water Gardens. Over the years I have taken many of them and here are a few to share with you.
