When we have been out walking in one direction we have heard and then seen Red Tail Hawks.  I think they have a nest to the south in that particular direction.  This past week I was able to get my best shots of one of them ever.  Here is the first after it flew across the road and into this tree.  At first it had it's back to me but then was quite nice and turned around.  😉

This is another image from the dewy morning in Missouri.  It's amazing how quickly spiders make webs and how quickly they disappear as well.  This was part of one on some Parsley growing in their garden.

It's Steamy Sunday once again here on the Blog.  Since things are weird this year and I can't go do steamy things I decided to dig in the archives.  I found some photos I had never shared before.  This is a scan of a film image of Milwaukee Road 261 from a time way back when it came to Topeka Kansas for Railroad Days.  I kind of like the high key look that this gives.  Who knew back in the day that a kind of crappy shot was artsy.  😄

Happy 4th of July everyone in the US!  It's been a weird year so far.  Not sure we will even be able to see fireworks today.  These are from a couple of years ago in Wamego Kansas which is known for their great shows.

Happy Friday and Friday's are Bokehlicious!  Because of that I have the perfect image for today.  I captured this snail on the sidewalk at my in-laws house.  I loved the bokeh that the sidewalk provided in front and behind.

I have to share a butterfly every week these days because they make me happy as well and I have been fortunate to see a good number of them this year.  I captured this one on my Butterfly Milkweed about a week ago or so.  This is a female Black Swallowtail.

It's July 1 and Wildflower Wednesday here on the Blog once again.  Today's photo is a quite old one but one of my favorites.  It's of a Violet Wood Sorrel.  I am using this image to help reveal my project I have been working on for at least the past month.  It has taken me longer than I thought it would but it has been fun.  I have done an extensive re-work of my Kansas Wildflower Pages by Color.  There are quite a lot more flowers presented, many images were taken this year, and I have updated it with the time of the year they bloom as well to hopefully help with IDs.  I hope you will check them out and that you find them useful.  The pages are listed at the very top of the Blog on both computer and phone.  There is also a Butterflies of Kansas page.
