Botanica Winter Snow, snow, beautiful snow! Kansas has been terribly dry for three years now. Wichita had two snows in February, only a couple of days apart, totaling 21 inches. That set a record for Wichita for the most snow in one month in recorded history. Hey, it's moisture. Nobody is complaining that it's in the form of snow.

I've been waiting 3 yrs. for a decent snow to go out and photograph some snow scenes. So, of course, I was out the morning after we received our 14.2 inch snowfall. Botanica was beautiful. This sculpture titled 'Harvest Time' seemed to fit right in. The little volunteer was obviously helping clear snow from paths.

The photo below reflects the first scene that greeted me as I entered the gardens. The tables on the terrace have a hole in the middle for an umbrella. The snow had piled up in the form of large angel food cakes on the tables. It looked as though Botanica should be declaring Angel Food Cake Day - all you can eat!
