Spring Is Sprunging

                      A few images from Historic Northeast as Spring 2019 is underway.

 Two homes above and below on Gladstone Boulevard. 

The Kansas City Museum fence has seen 119 Springs come and go. 

 The Magnolias are much healthier this year than last.  Last year's weather was awful for them. 

 Below, one of the homes behind the Museum . 

A Misty Walk In The Park

 Took a short walk in Kessler Park today.... very windy and misty.  Above, the Skyline, below, two

Opportunity

This is one of those photographs that you have to wait for.   I decided that these trees on the hill would look really good after a good snow.  So, after it had snowed for a while I went to Kessler Park just west of the Kansas City Museum.  I used a 4x5 view camera for the shot and hiked in a big circle so I wouldn't put any tracks in the shot.  This was taken in 1993.  A scanned black and white negative.

Final Fall Foliage

                  North Terrace ( Green ) Lake in Kessler Park, Northeast Kansas City, Missouri.

Romanesque Revival?

 That's the style I'm calling Our Lady Of Peace for now.   Would welcome correction.  Parish established in the late 1800s.. this structure was built early 1900s.   Mostly granite.  It's really not as scary as these first two shots indicate... but it lends itself to spookiness none-the-less.   Formerly Saint Stephens, it is still an active and vital parish.

The Whole Nine Yards

 Another nice thing about Historic Northeast is the beauty that home owners create on their own.
