Kissed by the
summer sun, the loveliness of the pink water lilies dances in the pond on a beautiful
mid-July afternoon at Johnson’s Pond Wildlife Park, Schnecksville, North
Whitehall Township, Pennsylvania.
A blue-tailed
dragonfly can be seen alighting on the bloom at left and in the foreground on
the pond.
Water lilies,
plants in the genus Nymphaea, are aquatic
blooms that grow in ponds and water gardens and are abundant on
Johnson’s Pond.
This wildlife park provides an
environment for bird watching, nature study and trails.
