A Very Humid Sunset

Wednesday, July 2nd, the humidity reached 94% here in Kansas City.  That made for a very soft, diffused sunset.  This photo taken from Kessler Park next to the Kansas City Museum.  
 

Forest Hill

 Forest Hill Cemetery is located at 71st and Troost.  Established in 1888, the land is notable for the location of another Civil War Battle Field as the Confederate troops fled south from Westport.

                                              Hyperblogal has family here in several locations.

 Many famous Kansas City residents  are buried here including Satchel Paige, below.

               From April 1st walk in the Park.   Color or black and white?   The image will always tell you.

The river is higher this year than it has been the past two years in February. Usually you can walk almost to the middle of the channel on sand/rock bars. Not this year.

A Byway in Autumn

Finally got out of the house on a sunny day to record some fall colors. The trees, I don't have to tell you, are spectacular this year. Little stress and lots of water makes for a happy leaf.

These are shots along Cliff Drive in Indian Mound, Scarritt Renaissance and Pendleton Heights.
