Rivers Moon
The "Super" Moon arose Saturday night as expected just north of the KC Skyline beginning at 8:49pm. It was reportedly over the skyline proper Friday night... but I was just happy it was fairly clear. There was a large amount of haze in the air though.. which made a "sharp" moon more difficult to attain. Above, just peeking above the tree line.
These shots were all taken from Kaw Point in Kansas City, Kansas from 9:10pm to 10:10pm. The Missouri River is on the left in these images and the Kaw (Kansas) River is on the right... they merge in the center. Although these images were all processed in Photoshop, there is no trickery employed... what I saw is what you see :)
These were taken with a Nikon D800 and Nikon 28-300mm lens... camera set on manual...
Kaw Point is one of my favorite places to visit ... full moon or otherwise...

Missouri Low Down
For a variety of reason the Missouri River is quite low at the moment. While it causes official concern it also provides viewpoint opportunities for those of us with cameras. A rock jetty which is normally under water is exposed and the "intrepid" can venture out onto it. Enough has been exposed that one can walk to the center of the river bed. Above and below the view from that point.
Above, looking east showing the exposed shoreline... below looking west.Above, the jetty is composed of all kinds of debris, bricks, limestone lintels, river rocks, red granite,
and undefined rusted metal objects.
Above, the view from almost the middle of the jetty back toward the southern shore.

Rivers of Ice
Kansas City from Kaw Point with the iced-up Missouri River. The river is flowing along as usual just with chunks of ice. Below, the Kaw flowing into the Missouri. Kaw surface is more frozen, water flowing underneath.

Bald Eagle Along The Kaw
Went down to the river today... the junction of the Missouri and the Kaw to photograph the ice floating by. Happened upon what I at first thought was a large hawk... turned out to be a juvenile Bald Eagle.. It had just caught something, couldn't tell what, and was enjoying a leisurely early dinner.
