 The Children's Fountain in North Kansas City. I'm not a big fountain person, but I do very much like the Children's Fountain. Kansas City has more fountains than any other city in the world, except Rome.

This is the smallest statue in the Children's Fountain and I like this particular statue. There's something about how she's holding her dress and getting ready to tiptoe into the water... or snow in this case.

This may get beat up because of the category, but I still like the shot and I thought the quote fit fairly well.
