A Crest In March 2019

 The Missouri River crest occurred Saturday March 23rd at about 35 feet.   Roughly six feet below flood stage.   I ventured down to Kaw Point to view the high water Thursday morning and evening.   Above, the super moon rising east of downtown.  Looking southeast from Kaw Point.    Below, the view from above the boat ramp which is completely covered by water.

Below, the same view as above before sunset. 

 Above and below, views Thursday morning from the Riverfront Walk at the foot of Main Street.

Above, skyline from Kaw Point... the entire foreground in this shot is normally dry. 

                      Above and below, the encroaching waters on the Kaw Point Park path.  You can see the Lewis and Clark Statue a little left of center in the above picture... that and the area just beyond it are usually totally dry.

 Below, lots of visitors to the Park to see the water.   Millions of gallons flowing silently by.

Flood Light

         The "Super" Full Moon last night just after rising over the Missouri River at Kaw Point.

Visiting Old Haunts

Visited Liberty Memorial last week just for old times sake... got a couple of shots... above is a panorama composed of five vertical shots stitched together.  The resulting image is 27" by 57".
Gives great detail.   Other pix below are just one shot each.

Big Giant Moon Again

Tuesday night I venture out to see the Super Moon.  Cloudy, but shot anyway.  Nikon D850, Nikon 70-200mm lens. 

Arrival Of The Birds

I start feeding the critters in February each year.. a little earlier if it's a really rough winter.   This video is condensed down from four hours worth of video in my back yard.  

When Birds Go Fishing

 Ring-billed Gill flying over the Kaw River looking for lunch.   Dove down for take out.    Used the
                          Nikon D500 and 80-400mm lens, ISO 1000, F9 at 1/640th.

Hungry Times

Starting in February I clear (if necessary) an area in the back yard and fill it with wild bird seed. There are many grateful visitors.  Sometimes they even get along.
