Longing For Spring







It's three degrees as I write this.  As I grow older I dislike cold more than ever and, as in a previous post, long for the arrival of Spring.   Here are two shots from last spring taken at North Terrace Lake (commonly called "Green Lake" by we locals) which is along Cliff Drive here in Northeast Kansas City.  A goose and a heron.  The goose is sight-seeing and the heron is hunting.

Entering the 3rd Dimension


Been fooling around with 3D.   Using Vue7 software (no endorsement deal) which allows manipulation of all elements of a scene, ground, sky, light, atmosphere, objects within, etc.  This particular design has no meaning... but since I inserted two moons it must be alien.

Kemper's More Interesting


All other factors aside, Kemper is just a much more interesting piece of architecture than the Sprint Center.

Scarritt Point Above and Below









Living in Northeast Kansas City has many advantages not the least of which are the scenic views of the city.   Scarritt Point is along Cliff Drive and is beautiful year round.   One shot is along the Drive looking up, the other is on the Point looking out.

Best Joint in the Bottoms


I frequent Tommy Boys for lunch several times a month.   Good food great service from Maggie the Magnificent.   In this photo Maggie's on the left, her husband Phil in the middle and George the cook on the right.   It's on the corner of Chestnut Trafficway and Nicholson Avenue.  And if you're really nice Maggie will sing a collection of Broadway Show tunes.
