Lotus & Waterlily Court in Rain at Longwood Gardens of Kennett Square, PA

            The wide variety of flowers and plants at Longwood Gardens are absolutely stunning in all stages and species . . . truly a Garden of Eden for anyone with a deep passion for these gifts of nature.  In addition, the architectural designs and structures throughout accentuate the experience, never ceasing to amaze.
The Waterlily, Lotus, and Waterlily Pad species at Longwood Gardens are of such spectacular variety, and given the passion and care administered to each and every one, it is a photographer’s dream to have the array of beautiful subjects to shoot, of both day and night flowering variations.  The pools of water, where these magnificent flowers are presented, have been darkened, so when the visitors and photographers view them, the contrast created is simply wonderful.  And the durable pads are unbelievable in their vast array of shapes, textures, and sizes . . . Not to mention, the beauty.  The black water prevents algae build up, and also minimizes the visibility of the mechanical operations beneath the surface—pipes, light posts, attachments, etc.  When the Victoria Waterlilies are at their peak, they are simply incomparable in glorious nature and size.
On this day, the added dimension of rain and heavy winds, at times, makes for even more interesting photos.
