The aquatic gardens have many more attractions than just the lotus and water lily ponds. There’s a tidal marsh that we usually take a boardwalk to walk through, but unfortunately it’s closed due to the lack of ability to social distance on it.

Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens, located in northeast Washington, D.C., has an annual lotus and water lily festival in summer, but unfortunately the National Park Service couldn't hold it this year due to the pandemic. Luckily they reopened the gardens a few weeks ago, so visitors were at least able to see the beautiful display. They set up one-way signs on the paths through the ponds to allow for social distancing, and I'd say at least 90 percent of the visitors were wearing face coverings.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly unsharp.
