Skyline On A Windy Day

Gusty winds all day made shooting difficult.  Trees moving in the foreground, wind moving the camera on the tripod, but, I have found that on even the windiest day there, sooner or later, will be calm.   This was taken from a hill at 17th and Hardesty.

Flocking At The River

The Missouri River is hosting a Flock of Ring Billed Gulls. Above, resting on a sandbar, below, circling and looking for fish.  They are swift and graceful diving down to the water, grabbing a fish and taking off again.  The 8th picture below shows a Gull with a fish in beak. Nikon D850. Tamron 159-600mm lens. 

Cliffhanger Run 5K And 10K

 The Cliffhanger 5k and 10k for 2019 races start and finish line in front of The Colonnade in Historic Northeast KC.  The route went along Cliff Drive and up Gladstone Boulevard.  The race is put on by the Kansas City Running Club and is a benefit for Northeast Neighbor to Neighbor  ( nnncares.org ).

The Drive was lovely this time of year. 

 Chicken and Road.... do your own joke. :)

Forest Hill

 Forest Hill Cemetery is located at 71st and Troost.  Established in 1888, the land is notable for the location of another Civil War Battle Field as the Confederate troops fled south from Westport.

                                              Hyperblogal has family here in several locations.

 Many famous Kansas City residents  are buried here including Satchel Paige, below.
