Springs Blooms

At last the bulbs are blooming.

Colorful Critter

Is it a cat or a dog?

Cages

Not your mother's tomato cages.

Crosses of Palm

Gnome Away

The aliens have kidnapped the gnome!

Bags of Color

Never Move?

Does this mean you aren't going to ever move your car? (I seem to be fixated on signs.)

Wheel of Fortune

Unfortunately I couldn't get the photo because you can see the missing letters, but from a distance it looked funny as missou rib nk. Use your imagination.

Seems Obvious

Since the pool is about 18 inches deep, I wouldn't think this would be a big problem. I have watched folks ice skate on it this winter. It just seemed funny that this was a permanent sign.

Creative Spelling

Sign posted by one of the kids for our Stone Soup luncheon on Sunday.

Uncovering the Pansies

Hard to sell pansies covered in snow.

Spring Surprise!

Actually, not so much of a surprise. But happy first day of spring, and the end of winter 2010. May it rest in peace.

Rock Art

Colors of Spring

Pansies are in abundance now. Compare to January 30.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Cup Cuzies

I'm actually not even sure how you spell the word but the knitting circle at work made sleeves for the new ecologically responsible paper coffee cups. Because the cups apparently are too hot to hold when filled with hot coffee, the circle decided everyone needed a cuzy. Reminds me of the crocheted coasters that someone made many years back.

Parament Flaw

It makes me crazy every time the paraments are changed in church because you frequently get the random thread that stands up (as seen in the center of the photo). I have to use great self control not to walk up and casually flick it back down.

Basketball Heaven

Fans flow into the Power and Light District for Big 12 tournament to watch games and prepare to enter the Sprint Center.

Not Again!

 Round three tonight.

On a Magic Carpet

Another painting, this one in the library. It looks a bit like Jesus is pulling an angel on a magic carpet. You may recall the one adorning the wall of the baptismal pond.

At Last

A sign of new life!

Reflected Sky

MOSAIC 2010

Tiles created for MOSAIC 2010, a collaborative AIDS awareness art project by Kansas City area youth.

Airport Mosaic

 

In the floor at KCI.

Bubble Bear

 

Bubble-blowing bear on the facade of a shop in Lawrence.

Snow Garbage

 

A huge pile of snow looking black and disgusting. But the good news is it is one of the last bunches of snow, at last. It may be another month melting but it's not in my way, and it is so attracting, adding to the landscape.

Boo Boo Bear

 

Boo Boo Bear was made by a friend years ago when the girls were little. He has a pocket in the back to hold ice cubes to put on boo boos. He had to be put to use again just the other day.

Spring Blossom

It's real, but indoors.

Nap Among the Greens

March Begins

 

Here we are at March 1st and my pots and living wreath are still buried in snow.  At least the daylight is longer.

Lady of the Opera

I like this statue in the lobby of the Lyric Theater. I wonder what will become of her when the Performing Arts Center opens.
