Winter Sunset

Merry Christmas, Kansas City

Let's be safe out there.

Mission Hills Sunset

Ward Parkway Amusement

I saw this yesterday on, yes, Ward Parkway, and had to go back and get a shot of it.

I figure it's either the staff or a thrifty family member or friend. Right?

Or just someone who wants to not use much gas?

Morning Fog

UMKC Autumn

Autumn, of course, last year, on the UMKC campus.

Autumn Reflections

(Get it?)  

Again, midtown Atlanta, Georgia, this time last year. I was pet sitting and so, walking the dogs one afternoon when I ran across this perfectly-timed, accidental reflection.

Golden Atlanta

Also a year ago in midtown Atlanta.

Punch of Autumn Red

Midtown Atlanta, last year at this time.

I Call It "The Horrors"

Or "Modern Life."

Or "Life in the City."

Or something like that.

We Kansas Citians know what and where this is.

Shot this Summer, out the window, here in Brookside. That's one busy sky. Again, click on picture for larger, better viewing.

Homelessness in the City

At the Plaza Branch of the Kansas City Public Library.

She's there about every day.

Summer Sunset

This summer, a few weeks ago, in the city.

A Maxfield Parrish Moment

Yes sir and ma'am, a Maxfield Parrish sunset, sky and moment, at least to me, on the campus of UMKC, just outside White Recital Hall this summer. It was just after one of their July Summerfest performancs on a Saturday evening.

Delicate Visitor

Tease

From Westport, this Summer.  I just saw and liked it.

Westport Sunset

Shot a few weeks ago on Westport Road.

Nelson Surprise

I was at the Nelson again, no surprise, and saw this simple, beautiful sculpture. It was part of their "30 Americans" installation. I immediately only saw a face staring back at me, at us. Upon a quick closer look, I realized what it was made of.

It was another surprising, even wonderful exhibit from the Nelson again, not a huge surprise. They keep doing such great things over there. Hope you saw it.

Kemper Selfie

I was at the Kemper (Museum of Contemporary Art) this Summer and caught this.

Bagpipes and Drums

This group was at HJ Community Center on Wornall a few weeks ago, one evening. I heard the noise, the bagpipes, specifically, and went to see what was going on. They were preparing for a performance and competition the following weekend in Minneapolis. They are the St. Andrew Pipes and Drums. If you can ever catch one of their performances, it's highly recommended.

Summer Sunrise, Brookside

This is my view every morning, in the parking lot, on the way to my car for work. I got this a few weeks ago at sunrise. If you didn't see the power lines, it nearly looks as though I live in the woods.

Summerfest, B & W

From the Summerfest series in July at UMKC's White Recital Hall.

Car Show

There was a car show put on by Veterans this Summer, an annual event, at Synchrony Bank on 67th Street in Merriam, just off I-35. I volunteered to shoot it for them. This was, obviously, one of the beauties.

Dinner Sunset Redux: B & W

Planters

I was down in City Market Last week---and looked up.

Dinner Sunset

I've shot the sunset coming through the windows several times, many, really, in Westport at Bistro 303. I committed to myself I wouldn't post just one more unless it was different. I think this did just that.

Sunset Welcome

This was at the HJ Community Center on Wornal, in Brookside, last week at sunset.

Brookside Rainbow

The Visitor

4 Years Ago Today

Four years ago today. Downtown Springfield, Missouri.

I like how it turned out. I took a little editing/artistic license and heightened the colors for effect. I think it gives it a certain Edward Hopper look. Framed, if someone said it was a watercolor, I think it would be believable.

Shakespeare in the Park

Last week.

Brookside Afternoon, Redux

Brookside Sunset

It's at about 55th St and Ward Parkway.
