 Wave the wand, say the magic word...and the chest opens to reveal a special gift for each child.

A Little August Distortion

 Dug out the fisheye lens.  Almost never use it.  But it can be interesting.  I'll dig it out again in a few months.   Nikon 10mmDx lens.   Kauffman Gardens and Kansas City Museum.

Derby Day At The Kansas City Museum

Sold out crowd enjoyed drinks, Local Pig Food, Music from the Grisly Hand, games, watching the Kentucky Derby in the Carriage House, and best dressed contests...  this will be an annual event.  Superbly done by the Museum Staff led by Anna Marie Tutera.   A feast of hats.
