We went to Botanica in Wichita Saturday night to see the Christmas lights. We'd heard about how pretty they are but had never gone before, so we hopped on the reindeer sleigh and went for a ride. The above picture was taken at the entry to the gardens. The trees below were somehow placed in the pond, thus the nice reflection.
This next picture is at Candy Cane Lane. When I was at this enclosed area in October, it was filled with butterflies and pansies.
There are a bunch of big poinsettias like this next one in the Shakespeare Garden. See the statue in the background? I don't know who it is supposed to be. Certainly not Lady Macbeth.
We end our tour at the arbor, strung with blue, purple, and green lights that make it look like bunches of grapes. It's actually a lot cooler in person. Behind it was a light show that blinked on and off to some Manheim Steamroller Christmas selections. Our favorite was a beautiful rendition of "Silent Night." When it finished, Big Bore asked me if I had any little tears in my eyes, because he sure did. Yep. And it wasn't from the cold.
If you live in the area and have never been to Botanica at Christmas time, I hope you will have time to stop by. This weekend will be its last viewing for the season. You won't be disappointed.
