Welcome home.

Autumn, Yellow and Bee

To start and maybe brighten your day

Shot 2 years ago up in Briarcliff at a friend's home.

From Unity Temple on the Plaza's garden last year.

I shot this, too, at the longtime friend's home in their garden in Waldo in early May.

Spring white

I found these just off the Plaza, mid-May, during a soft Spring rain.

Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day out there, indeed.
This shot is dedicated to all the Moms and Mothers out there, sure, and particularly and especially to Helen Marie McCall Evans--Mom.  We lost her in 2000.
A harder working, more dedicated, sincere, compassionate and passionate person you could never want to meet. 
We love and miss you, Mom.

There are some things that are so easy to shoot that first, they're a pleasure and second, it's almost like stealing.  Some of those are, in my  mind, sunrises, sunsets, some architecture, lots of things from nature and this, neon, but there you are.  They're still fun and somebody had to think of it.  In this case, of course, it's me so here you go.

restaurant Spring

This, too, I enjoyed the results.

While not perfect, in a way, to me, and part of a much different group though shot at the same time, I liked how the sunset played on the flowers.  I loved the light and color against the near-black table background.  Just a nice result to me.

Sunrise, Spring in the city

Shot at the end of March in Independence, MO on the way to work.

accidental brilliance

Okay, I have to 'fess up on this one.  I was trying to shoot this car going by that had 2 children in the back seats who were each watching televisions mom and dad had supplied in order to keep the kids quiet on what must have been a long trip.  The idea disgusted me, frankly, and I thought I might blog about it.  Instead, I got this shot and I have to say, just for the color alone, I like how it turned out.  I can't claim I knew what I was creating, of course, but still, it was this artist's result so here you go.  

blue

Shot this winter in North Kansas City.  I was driving by this apartment complex and liked the geometry of it all.  Naturally, it reminds me of Joni Mitchell:

Blue

Blue
songs are like tattoos
You know I've been to sea before
Crown and anchor me
Or let me sail away

(great song)

Have a terrific day, y'all
