Broadway Cab
View a slideshow of snapshots from Paxico’s Meatloaf Festival and Car show. A long way from New York, this spiffy cab was one of my favorites at yesterday’s car show. Other colorful stuff going on in Paxico was the Meatloaf Festival and a small parade.
Blades
Roadside Textures
Black-Eye Susie
Morning wildflowers – Kansas country road
Turtle Mug
This boy was laying in the sun on a minimum maintenance road out in the Flint Hills this morning. I’m sure he expected to get through the day un-annoyed. Nope. I saw a gray fox too, but he was too fast for me. Turtles I can keep up with.
Drainage
Water run-off from recent thunderstorm adds some evening light to a patch of farmland.
Evening Storms – frame 5628
West of Lyon County Fishing Lake, Kansas – I saw the rose colored light under that shelf of clouds, streaked with rain. I pulled to the side of the road, set up my tripod and managed to catch a flash of lightning in the mix.

Scurves
Just an experiment with s-curves.

Woodland Leaf Study
Flint Hills Natl. wildlife Refuge – nature trail
Wild Raspberries
Found along one of the nature trails at the Flint Hills National Wildlife Refuge. Yes, I did eat some.
Multi-tasking Bees
Famous for their incredible work ethic, I was amazed to see the bees continue to gather pollen even while mating.
Crab Spider
Found this morning on a wild blackeyed susan at the Flint Hills Natl. Wildlife Refuge (near Hardford, Kansas). The little buggers and tiny but have kind of a macho attitude.
A Little Froggy Quiet Time
Found basking on a lotus leaf near the shoreline of Ottawa County State Lake
