“Manteca Snow” shows children playing in an almond orchard in early spring. The feel of a winter snow is created as the white almond blossoms with their delicate pink centers appear in the local orchards. This feeling of snow is enhanced as the cool spring breezes blow the white flower petals into soft drifts. You can almost smell the fragrance of the blossoms and hear the buzzing of the bees as you look at this mural by DS Gordon & EE Yates. This 20’ by 36’ mural was painted by 45 community volunteers under the supervision of DS Gordon & EE Yates on a north-facing wall in the 100 block of Manteca Avenue across from Library Park.
