kauffman garden
I'm following Amy's lead today. I have a new Local Love. Kauffman Memorial Garden is just east of the Country Club Plaza here in Kansas City, and it is BEAUTIFUL! We went for a little photo shoot of the kids this morning and I will be going back often. It is close by and kind of urban yet all self-contained. It's not a playground. It's much more of a garden, but it's safe for a little running about. Take a coffee and your sketch pad, sit and relax or stroll around and enjoy the gorgeous ponds and flowers.
And don't forget your camera. : )

Shhh -- that's the secret garden. ;) It really does feel that way when you're there though. I've never been in early spring -- the bulbs look pretty!

so pretty ... I love places like that -- they just feel like private little treasures. Thank you for sharing the tulips! I love them! And fountains are just perfect.
I love going to places that aren't tourist hang-outs or chains. You know, because I think I'm unique or something.
sketch pad, though? I was just thinking, "Uh-huh, yeah *right*."
