Kansas in Depth

July 17, 2008 – 7:31 pm

Just how many miles can one see across the Kansas Prairies?  It is so hard to capture depth in a picture, but from this vantage point I suppose one could see 20 to 30 miles into the distance.

Low Creek Bridge

July 17, 2008 – 8:48 am

When it floods from heavy rains, the creek flows over the low concrete roadway. Normally, when the creek is low, the water flows under the roadway through several tubes. Last week when it flooded, the raging water broke apart the roadway, dismantling into several pieces. No telling when the Low Creek Bridge will be fixed.

Double Exposure

July 16, 2008 – 9:02 am

From time to time, I like to post my photo ‘mistakes’ whether it was because I had erred in shooting or in post-processing. I find it interesting. This photo of a wildflower was fine until I merged layers in post-processing, and it came out looking like a film double exposure. I remember how I did [...]

Respect for the Kansas Weather

July 15, 2008 – 8:22 pm

The temperature reached 95 degrees today and there was a mild breeze as I took this picture.  Seemed not so long ago this very ground was covered in snow and ice as north winds blew unforgivingly.  I have learned to respect the Kansas weather.  Kansas produces breath taking beauty no matter the time of year.

Day Shot~Summer Cloud

July 15, 2008 – 2:12 pm

“A cloud does not know why it moves in just such a direction and at such a speed…It feels an impulsion…this is the place to go now. But the sky knows the reasons and the patterns behind all clouds, and you will know, too, when you lift yourself high enough to see beyond horizons.” –Richard [...]

Windmill of Time

July 14, 2008 – 10:48 am

Anna and I acquired most of our pictures within a 15 mile radius from where we live. Never in my life have I seen so much pretty. Then again I’m much older now and I tend to appreciate and see things I never noticed before. I don’t mean things like little green men getting out [...]

Creek Flow

July 14, 2008 – 7:18 am

Stopping down the shutter speed on the camera, the creek water was transformed into a smooth flow.

Creek Sunset

July 13, 2008 – 2:32 pm

I love creeks. I love creek scenes in every kind of weather and season. Creeks draw me and the water soothes me. I Zen out while around creeks. I have creek moments. Well, maybe you get the picture. As a photographer, I am working at becoming better capturing creek moods as I feel them. It [...]
