Kauffman Garden

   
I hadn't been to Kauffman Garden for a couple months. Here are a few shots that I captured. It has been an extremely long winter in Kansas City. So much snow and cold weather. I know spring is around the corner but it can't come soon enough for me.

The conservatory was filled with gorgeous flowers. It always helps to visit and breath in the beauty of nature.



I was happy that Crazy hadn't forgotten me. She came running when I called her name:)

I haven't written in a while because recovering from surgery has been more difficult than I imagined.   I am still struggling, but hope the doctors can figure out how to help me.  Keep me in your prayers.

I tend to be a fair weather photographer and when it turns cold, I focus more on my jewelry. But Kauffman Memorial Garden was calling me and I had to go for a visit. I know it really isn't winter until the 21st, but with temperatures in the teens, it sure feels like it.



The conservatory is beautifully decorated for Christmas. A family with small children were there all dressed up ready for photos. They were posing in front of the snowman that is made out of dried hydrangea.

My husband decided to stay inside and sketch Crazy the cat while I wandered outside. She was a very good model. She only rolled over a few times.

The garden was very quiet that morning. The only sounds were the birds having their breakfast on a crabtree. They weren't happy with me disturbing their meal. They would fly away and then quickly return for more fruit.

As a child, I would play outside as long as there was daylight. Visiting the garden brought back memories of that simpler time. I can't wait for my next visit.

One of my favorite places to visit is Kauffman Garden in Kansas City, Missouri. Here are a few of my recent shots. Crazy is their resident cat. She was very patient with me while I was experimenting with my macro lens.
