Miniature Roses

The Guillotine

The awesome paper cutter we have at work. I am cutting a stack of 400 sheets in one clean swipe. Takes a little muscle to pull the arm down but not bad.

Driveway Art

Helping Nature

A wire and a log are creative ways to support this branch that should never have been allowed to get this big at that angle.

Work Conditions

I kept waiting for something to drop on my head.

Smackdown

The Easter Bunny got pinned.

Palette of Easter Eggs

Legend of the Dogwood

Legend says dogwoods were a mighty tree until one was used to make the cross for the crucifixion. Now they are small with a blossom in the form of a cross with a crown of thorns in the center. Makes a good story. I love their blossoms.

The Beauty of Pink

Have a Seat

Elegant cement furniture so you can sit and gaze at the Meyer fountain.

Grateful Not to Have

... a yard full of these. Many people do right now.

Earsley

One of my favorite Easter decorations.

Kate the Bunny

... one of the Plaza bunnies that have been on display at Easter time since 1931. There are several bunnies and various animals scattered around the Plaza.

Palm Crosses

Our handiwork for Palm Sunday.

Tree Values

The Heartland Tree Alliance is tagging trees to let you know their value as part of the Earth Day celebration.

Spring Attire

Looking a little warmer than they did on December 28.

Dobby

I thought the face on the top looked a bit like Harry Potter's Dobby. And look at the feet. Why does it have feet? It's a strange item.

All Hail the Fountains

The Kansas City fountains were officially turned on yesterday. Meyer is one of the premiere ones.

McGonigles

I spend a lot of time at 79th and Ward Parkway studying the ads at this market as I wait for the light on my way to work.

The Power of One

The lesson - $1 doesn't accomplish much but when we pool our resources we can make an impact.

When Is It Too Much?

Way too much happening in this yard.

Lettuce Wannabe

Something here does not belong in the vegetable garden.

Home No More

Long ago, this house was new and someone was very excited to be moving in. What happened?

Blowing Water

Brush Creek fountain makes a nice water display in the wind.

Bring on the Media

The earnings tax vote brought out media during the day. They like the polling place at work as a place to give updates for some reason.

Purple Plains

Stare Down

Viking Visage

Symbol of Parsons High School.

Shadows at Last!

The sun has finally deigned to shine again so I was able to capture this cool shadow.

Opening Day

Bought my paper from a Rotary guy but no game tickets enclosed. Just as well with the weather and the loss. I had to stop at a green light to purchase my paper but no one behind me honked. Ever since Dad had to be out selling them, I have made a point to find a corner where they are selling.
