Overland Park Arboretum Luminary Walk 2010

Today was the first of four nights for the holiday luminary walk at the Overland Park Arboretum and Botanical Gardens.  Despite a winter chill in the air, the event was well attended by families who bundled up, including lots of little ones in their strollers.  I heard more than one family saying they have made this a tradition.  I've been photographing the event for three years now and it gets more and more beautiful each year.

There is a lot for "big ones" and "little ones" to enjoy - including a lit maze and tunnel, a gingerbread house, hot apple cider and caroling in front of a bon fire.  As you walk through the lighted woods, you may hear the melodic sounds of the flute player and the carolers.  

Come on out - the event will be held tomorrow night, November 27th and next Friday, December 3rd and Saturday, December 4th  from 5:00 - 8:30.

Also, for you photographers, you can get the beautiful cobalt blue sky by using a tripod and shooting within the first half hour after sunset (about 5:00-5:30).
