Walking The Point

 Once a Summer I like to walk the area called Scarritt Point in Kessler Park... the journey starts with my favorite home-grown castle - the William Wallace Home - c1888.

                  Above, looking west, below, the southwest corner of the Wallace Home. 

                          Above, the west side of the house, below, looking west from the home. 

                                                            Overlooking the East Bottoms. 

                                          Above and below, the observation area looking south.

                         Above, looking south ... the roof of the Colonnade (1908)  is in the center. 

       

                                                    Another view, looking northwest. 

Kessler Park Rainy Day

From deep in the files.  2009.  A rainy day in Kessler Park... a field right next to the Kansas City Museum.  At that time the Parks Department was letting part of the field grow wild...which I liked and everyone else didn't.  :)  There was a beautiful red fox too, but he/she was faster afoot than I was with the shutter.
