Tiny Paradise

To get perspective, the pink item center left of the stream is a fairy and there is a tiny white table and chairs to the right of the stream.

Tulip Tree

It appears to have survived the latest winter attack.

Rose of Lent

Once again, the Lenten Rose. They flower in early spring, around the period of Lent.

Spring Flowers

In a not so spring like setting. Enough with the snow.

Ahh, the Wonders

... you can see at Cabela's mega store at the Legends. We were buying a tent but the million people in the store were also admiring the animals. Some of the exhibits were displaying the circle of life a little too realistically for Stacy and I.

Book from the Sky

This book appeared on the roof outside my second floor office (that's my window straight ahead). Apparently by the Divine since it was a Bible printed in 1952. We know this because after examining options, we found we could reach it by pulling down the fire escape (see below). We're resourceful when we have a goal.

Too Big

This arrangement, while lovely, was too big for the table. A new location had to be found.

Fairy Home

This little glade made me think of a magical place, like where fairies might dwell.

Steeple - Part 2

For those who were curious to know, the steeple hiding the cell antenna is in place and you can't detect it. Nice work, and possibly helpful to those around having cell transmission problems.

Bird with a Bird

I found this interesting, first because of the large orange ball. I've noticed it for awhile. But also that a bird house, as this appears to be, has a birdhouse.

Dog on the Course

Plywood dogs are being used on Milburn Country Club golf course to help alleviate off season damage caused by geese, including droppings and turf damage. Guess geese aren't too bright. Doesn't seem to phase the birds.

The Brookwood Wishing Well

Nestled in Mission Hills is this well, dug in the 1850s and used by Civil War soldiers and Oregon and Santa Fe Trail travelers. Restored by Boy Scouts to look more like a wishing well than a water well.

Morning Fire

What a delicious sunrise!

Digging in the Dirt

This must be a boy's wonderland - a big pile of dirt and some graders. Just like the sandbox days.

Abandoned

This once splendid bust is left to gather dust and chip away. The lot of a stage prop.

Better Late Than Never

Usually I see these guys in February.

Structural Collapse

The squirrels built their house upon the sand, and it all came tumbling down. No injuries were reported.

The Jayhawk Nation

Gathers for the final push.

Something for Everyone

... or we can't make up our minds. Be an interesting day for this household. At least no one is playing each other - yet.

Lent Begins

The carving on the communion table at Country Club Christian Church.

Water Torture

It looks innocent, a small stream of water. But when it falls 3 stories onto an air conditioning duct outside your window, it becomes a roar. Surely this is not the design intended.

They're Coming!

Buds on the daffodils. Can spring be far behind?

Snow Master

This fellow has been bringing snow since he arrived on Christmas Eve 2009. Last year he brought snow on the first day of spring. We're hopeful that his power has ended for this winter.

What and How?

These things appeared on the balcony outside the child care room at Jazzercise. First the boxy thing and then the strange colored light bulb. We all are curious as to why they appeared and why.

How to Get a New Steeple

... agree to have a cell antenna installed inside.

Ethereal Blue

I love the color of this orchid.
