Contesting for the Ball

Moving Up the Field

I was really too far away to get great pics, but with zoom and a little help from the software, I got a few good ones.

These Buds For You!

It won't be long before these Iris and Peone buds are ready to open.

His Honor on camera, and in person at the press conference May 12th.

Mounted Patrol II

A more classic shot of the two mounted KCPD officers at the soccer game yesterday...

Mounted Patrol I

Almost a perfect PR shot for these horse mounted KCPD members...can you see what makes it less than perfect? (No, the photog's shadow isn't it!)

Series: Clouds

After church finished yesterday, we came out and found the most amazing cloud formations.

Cumulus clouds with high tops, highlighted by the low sun in the west. (South view)

Rain shafts are visible in these clouds, and I could hear very rare rumbles of thunder. (SW view)

Poofy clouds as far as the eye can see. (North view. Yeah, it's not exactly hill country around here.)

Check out the blue underneath the cloud deck here. (south view)

Blue under the cloud anvil here, too. (south view)

A very distinct line set up between the storm and clear sunny weather. (WSW view)

More cumulus clouds, with high tops. (East view)

Later on, storms developed from the south and moved into Cass County MO in the extreme south metro, and a strong line developed along I-70 to the north. Not much rain at my house, but excellent light shows!
