Lemur of Madagascar

In the Expedition Madagascar at the Omaha Zoo, you can meet a lemur without any barrier.

Walk Across States

The Bob Kerry pedestrian bridge allows people to walk from Omaha to Council Bluffs.

Manage Expectations

Great burgers and I enjoyed their message at the bottom.

Last Call

Omaha's Rosenblatt Stadium, home of the Omaha Royals and the College World Series is closing next week after 62 years to be replaced by new stadiums. We watched the Omaha Royals lose to the Iowa Cubs. A lot like watching the Kansas City Royals. We did see Bannister pitch.

Cement Creek

I have had a fascination for the concrete paving of Brush Creek through the Plaza since I was a kid and was told Boss Tom Pendergast hid bodies of his enemies in the cement while it was constructed. Probably not true but riveting to a kid. It is definitely disintegrating now - lots of rebar showing. I thought I should preserve it for posterity.

Neon Hydrant

I was intrigued by this hydrant, both for the color they chose and the sloppy way they painted it.  Must be budget cuts.

Ginormous Pez Dispenser

Creative use of a dead tree trunk.

Centurion Legion

In Roman times, a senior officer commanded 100 men, more or less. This was part of a lesson about what a centurion was and how many people that represented.

Of An Age

This car was part of the display at the 90th anniversary celebration at Country Club Christian Church on Sunday. Too bad I don't know what it is.

Overhead Visitor

Scaring Babies

Baby Jay may have damaged this baby for life. I'd be scared. It was a gathering of the KU faithful in Corinth (before the rain) to kick off the football season.

Entrepreneur

Apparently someone was persistent enough about selling to require a permanent stand. Does this pass city code?

Super Size

This pot it taller than me. Unfortunately I couldn't find a passing stranger to stand in front of it for portion purposes.

Bat Catcher

As sometimes happens, a bat was loose in our office. Heather took on the role of bat catcher. I, on the other hand, chose to stay safely behind the camera. She has it in the net in her gloves. We released it into the wild.

Grantioch Neighborhood

I have never heard of this but I found this sign. Apparently the Grantioch neighborhood boundaries are Antioch to Grant, from 79th Street to 83rd Street - part of Overland Park but wanting its own identity.

Moon Glow

I am very excited that my moonflower finally bloomed. It's taken me years to get one to bloom after having so many. Very fragrant.

Watering Colors

Beauty & The Beast

Hayden as Beauty.

30 Degree Temperature Drop

So we started at our sunny 103 and cooled to this rain splashed situation. All in a night's work.

Yowzaa!

I am looking forward to going out to Starlight tonight to take tickets. Picked a great day.

Just to Be Clear

I think the yellow sign was sufficient. It's not a crime scene. Well, maybe it is.

Coloring in the Lines

Or not. Not sure what this is about. Is this a new kind of crosswalk? But there is no pedestrian crossing here.

Office Assistant

Ever feel like you're being watched? Maybe you are!

Firecrackers

My hanging plant is flourishing. I think it looks like a fireworks fountain.

Burnout

Or is it burn off. All I know is it is hot, hot and dry and the pretty green is going, going. August in Kansas.

Not just Ornamental

These looked like ornamental pear trees but apparently not.

Floral Abundance

In addition to the mosquitoes, my patio pots are enjoying the constant rainfall and humidity.

You've Been Flocked!

A fundraiser at the nursing home where my Mom currently is.

A Good Read

This bronze statue is one of several by Alice Arms, who died July 30 at the age of 101. She was a world traveler and a gifted sculptor.

Scorching!

A record I never enjoy hitting.

Politics

With the election today, the signs are prolific. We have a polling place at work so you run the gauntlet to get past all the campaigners, too.

Peaking

Happy Birthday Stacy!
