Wichita Fountains & Arkansas River Call You

 

 We have such beauty here in Wichita, Ks that the word must get out!

Just take a look here and see if you recognize what you see. I took these pictures one beautiful Kansas day enjoying all it has to offer.  Listening to the rush of the waterfalls, the whosh of the fountains and the quiet calm of the river that runs through is.  I believe there is a movie called 'The River Runs Through It"! 

If you have not figured it out by now, the waterfalls and fountains are in-between Century ll and the River along the walkway. It is not far from the bridge where firework displays are enjoyed on the fourth of July and many other wonderful occassion's during the year.  I remember one year sitting in this area on the 4th of July listening to Wichita's Symphony Orchestra and watching the fireworks! What a spectacular experience it was for me.  Sometimes the chills went up my spine with the beauty of it all.  I'm a big fan of fireworks and it was the first time I heard our Symphony Orchestra.  Wow, what a treat.  We should all be so proud of what we have here in our city to enjoy and take advantage of for ourselves and our families. 

The picture of the river is along the park area .  I am so pleased when  people take advantage of what we have here in Wichita.  Gatherings with family and friends in these areas are seen most days that I've had the pleasure of driving by...sometimes taking a moment myself to just enjoy what I'm looking at...beauty in God's creation ... the beauty that individuals  who dreamed to share with us and built these fountains, these waterfalls these bridges and planted all the marvelous trees.  I am so impressed with the people of Wichita that have dreamed their dreams and made it reality.  So, for those of us that follow along behind them can enjoy their accomplishments!
