Celebration at the Station

Kansas City Symphony concert at Union Station.

Moon over Market

A full moon lit the way as we set up for the Overland Park Farmers Market.

Rosedale Arch

 Inspired by the Arc de Triomphe, the Rosedale Arch in Kansas City, KS, was built in 1924 to honor Rosdale residents who served in the Rainbow Division during World War I. The site has been allowed to deteriorate over the years but the view (below) of the Kansas City skyline from it remains exquisite. The arch itself is very visible from I-35.  

Reflective Pool

Strange Bird

This strange bird was seen in my garden.

Patterns

Interesting in colors in the trees overhead. Reminiscent of fall.

A Bowtie and a Dog

Lenny (brown and furry and held by Grace) enjoyed the graduation party too. Calvin, with the bowtie, is the graduate. BTW, the tie is the real deal - he taught himself to tie it for graduation.

Anticipation

Cannas more than ready to be planted.

Janssen Place

The entry to Janssen Place, a boulevard of beautiful early 20th century homes built by lumber barons in Kansas City.  Oddly, the homes are massive stone places but perhaps have beautiful wood interiors.

Pride in Work

Really? How can you in good conscience deliver this package? With no explanation or question about the condition of what is inside?

Stoles of Many Colors

There's not just one stole to wear when you're a minister.

Bowl of Peonies

Coffeehouse Art

For the enjoyment of those in the drive-thru lane.

It's That Time of Year

Amazingly, we had sunshine on Holly's graduation. Looked uncertain all day.

Spiritual Labryinth

The labryinth is a custom designed, seven-circuit pattern based on the classic Cretan Labyrinth and designed as an alternative tool for spiritual growth. This one is at a local church.

Rock Chalk Cake

At a graduation party.

Staff Housing

One of the homes built by William Rockhill Nelson to rent to KC Star employees in the early 1900s. Located just west of Gilham at 31st and still well maintained today.

Reflecting the Light

Blooming shelter

If it must rain, it's good to have colorful protection.

Look Back

The new Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts reflected in Bartle Hall windows.

Whimsical Garden Stones

World View

For Riley, Stacy's cat, the view is best when you are upside down.

It's All About Stripes

These zebra heads sit amidst striped pavement outside Bartle Hall.

Strings of Music

The harp with the Symphony orchestra at the ballet.

Golden Cap

The goldleaf dome of the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception.

Sunburst

Crying Giant

Crying Giant on the lawn of the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art sits with his head in his hands. It measures 11 feet high and more than 14 feet deep, and weighs more than 5,700 pounds.

Bloch at Sunset

Bloch Building at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art

Car of Many Identities

This hybrid seemed to be created from parts of numerous models including Studebaker, Trans Am, Camaro, etc. The license plate was Guess. Apparently the owner is used to the curiosity.

Market Sunrise

One benefit to getting up before dawn to set up for the Farmers Market.

Where I Bloom

Offerings at a local garden art sale.
