Mid-Spring At Kauffman Gardens

          I visit Kauffman Memorial Gardens several times a year... the beds are continually changed.



              Above, this lady was nesting and keep one eye on me.  She was in with the roses.

Historic Moment

Very, very rare photograph of the last time Indian Mound in Northeast Kansas City erupted. According to native lore it was shortly before 1700.  This picture was taken by a trapper who was just passing through.   The photograph, which is a glass plate negative, can be found in the collection of the Smithsonian Institute.

A Walk Around

 Bored, so I headed up to Kessler Park and just walked around.   Nice views, always changing.


 Above, the Judge Wallace house.  Below, an idea stolen directly from Stephanie Maskill-Alewel, the Kansas City Museum Magnolias are ready.
