Brownstone Renewal Ongoing

 The William Chick Scarritt home (1887) continues it's return to glory with new, upper floor, windows.  Special order thermal since they are curved.  Only two panes left to install.  This house has come a long, long way since it burned a year and a half ago.

City View

                           Kansas City skyline from the site of the Scout in Penn Valley Park.

Penn Valley View

Kansas City skyline looking north from Penn Valley Park...be fun to skate on the lake, but you first.

Walking By The Rivers

The Missouri and Kaw Rivers are jammed with ice.. still flowing, but packed.  Went down to see today.  Also saw a Ring-billed gill fishing in the Kaw.  Thanks John Page-Cooper for the bird ID.

 Circling the only portion of open water... he/she descended and grabbed a fish... very graceful flier.

Rivers Of Ice

The Kaw River, foreground, with the Missouri in back.. Shortly after sunset.  Yes, it was cold, very cold...  camera did fine, me, not so much.

Ice Castles

Concourse Fountain in Northeast Kansas City runs all year... When it freezes, it becomes a micro winter wonderland and certainly attracts attention....  Benton Boulevard and St. John Avenue.

Winter Color

Visitors to the back yard...one (above) Saturday...one (below) today.
