Sunset from Scarritt Point

 Before heading inside the Museum's Carriage House last night to meet the Princesses, took a couple of skyline/sunset shots .

Princess Arrival

The throne room, above, was ready and a welcoming bow adorned the gate as the Kansas City Museum welcomed the Fairy Princesses back for their 2012 appearances.  

 The Museum's Carriage House is festively adorned in keeping with the season... and Friday night was their neighborhood open house.  Anyone from the six Northeast Neighborhoods was welcome to attend.

 The Fairy Princess will greet her young subjects beginning tomorrow, Sat. Dec 1.  Check out the KC Museum site for other days and times.  http://www.kansascitymuseum.org/fairy.html

 Christopher Leitch, Museum Director, introduced the four young ladies who will occupy the throne this year...

 Above, this year's winners of the Museum's Halloween Princess Contest were introduced. Also, in the center, Carol Barta who was a Princess in 1957.    Below, Councilman Scott Wagner and Neighborhood Leader Jeff Zumsteg were in attendance.

 Above, Princesses mingled and below, left to right, Leslie Caplan, President of Scarritt Renaissance, Leslie Collins, Editor of the Northeast News, and Kent Dicus, President of the Northeast KC Historical Society chatted over the excellent food.

The Grisly Hand At The KC Museum

 The last in the Summer Concert Series at the Kansas City Museum was last Friday night and The Grisly Hand entertained a record crowd of 300 people on the Corinthian Hall Grounds.  Great group, wonderful weather, awesome night.    A few pictures follow along with a clip of the band's first song.

 Dogs are very welcome.... no cats were in attendance.

 Above, the Google Fiber truck was there giving out free ice cream.... it was popular....

 All shots taken with the Nikon D800 and either 24-70mm lens, or, the 70-200mm lens.  ISO set on Auto. Aperture priority F5.6 mostly.

Run Little Rabbit

 It was cool summer night concert time at the Kansas City Museum  and "Run Little Rabbit" was the guest group.  Left to right, Michaela, Rachel, and Leslie entertained a record crowd of 175....  great weather on the beautiful grounds. There's a sample of their performance at the end of this post.

 I have never seen this many children at one time in Northeast in a non-playground setting.

 Above, the new gardens that were planted recently are looking amazing...  they duplicate the original plantings and were recreated from photographs.

 Above, a whole slew of Henggelers were on hand.... they live on Gladstone Boulevard... little Simon is not as alarmed as he looks.

Most popular modes of transportation.... feet and bikes.....
