Day Twenty-Seven: Frosted Wheat

In Lawrence we like to prepare for the worst. Weather predictions of 2 to 4 inches of snow and possible freezing rain prompt conversations of school closings, electrical blackouts, and long lines at the supermarket filled with people who must stock up "before the storm hits."

Today all of this talk translated into a "light dusting" of snow.

While I did have to go to work today, I decided to take a little post-job, pre-sunset time to pictorialize a snowy day in Lawrence. I walked by the downtown buildings, took some pictures of lightly dusted gazebos and sculptures in the parks, but what ultimately caught my attention was a thicket of golden wheat swaying in the chilly breeze.

This wheat, dusted with snow, seemed to be waiting patiently in the winter wind for the kiss of spring to come and wake it up like Prince Charming would wake up his sleeping beauty -- his "Snow Wheat," if you will.
