The City From Northeast

The City as seen from the east.  This site is now the campus of Guadalupe Center.  It originated as National College ( I can't find anything online about it, but, I believe it was founded in the 40s ) then became a Methodist Seminary.   Day and night it's a lovely site.

Sol Centered

 

Perfect unintentional timing as I arrived at my previously selected spot to shoot the skyline.  The Sun setting right between City Hall and the old Telephone Building. In cases like these, you don't think about anything just react and let the camera do most of the work.  

Spring Is Sprunging

                      A few images from Historic Northeast as Spring 2019 is underway.

 Two homes above and below on Gladstone Boulevard. 

The Kansas City Museum fence has seen 119 Springs come and go. 

 The Magnolias are much healthier this year than last.  Last year's weather was awful for them. 

 Below, one of the homes behind the Museum . 

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.

A June Night In Penn Valley Park

                                                              The skyline looking north.

Evening And Morning On The River

             The Missouri River leading to the Kansas City Skyline on a Spring evening, June 2, 2018.
                                                     Below, the same scene that morning.

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.
