Looking Forward To Spring

One of the first flowers to be seen along Cliff Drive this year will be Spring Beauty.  About the size of a grown man's thumbnail..  they bravely pop out even in light snow.

Sunset By The Kaw

Above, time-lapse of sunset on the Kansas City, Missouri skyline from the banks of the Kaw River.

Above photo taken with iPhone... because I left the camera at home :(

 Taken with the regular camera... two night shots of the KC skyline from the banks of the Kaw River.

Rivers of Ice

Kansas City from Kaw Point with the iced-up Missouri River.  The river is flowing along as usual just with chunks of ice.   Below, the Kaw flowing into the Missouri.  Kaw surface is more frozen, water flowing underneath.

Bald Eagle Along The Kaw

 Went down to the river today... the junction of the Missouri and the Kaw to photograph the ice floating by.  Happened upon what I at first thought was a large hawk... turned out to be a juvenile Bald Eagle.. It had just caught something, couldn't tell what, and was enjoying a leisurely early dinner.

Happy Anniversary to Hyper

Today is the fifth anniversary of Hyperblogal.   As you can see the quality of posts has not improved.

Colonnade and Snow

 The snow didn't amount to much Wednesday night... but I headed up to the Colonnade during the "storm" anyway.   This was at about 8pm.

North Terrace Lake In Winter

                                  These shots were taken two years ago after a light snow.
