Late Summer Blooms

Kauffman Memorial Gardens from a couple of weeks ago. 

Bugs And Blossoms

Went looking for tiny critters at Kauffman Memorial Gardens. 

 Above, hard to see...Praying Mantis left of center.

The River In The Rain - And Other Stuff

Gray, drab day.  Went to Kaw Point to see the skyline in the rain.   Light rain above, heavy rain below.

     High buildings and low clouds.  Below, the whole area at Kaw Point is covered in mud from the high water levels this summer.. slick going. 

Above, the General Ashburn, twin screw towboat built in 1981.  105 feet long, 30 feet wide. 

Below, low clouds over the river looking north. 

 Above, train running along the levee.  This is below Quality Hill. Below, trains and cranes. 

 Below, one last shot after I decided I was wet enough. 

In August Light The Flowers Shine

                                       From Loose Park.  Mostly the Rose Garden.
