Dreaming Department

Union Station is over in The Big City. The huge, beautiful lobby has a model railroad display every Christmas season, starting about now. My First Wife and I went there today, not to see all the trains (there must be 75 of them; different sizes), but for other business. At the last second I decided to carry my camera in.



Then at the other last second I shot this photo. I don't know who that boy is, but it could have been me when I was his size. I know exactly what he is dreaming.

Blast from the Past Department

Look what I bought today!



How 'bout that?!

Fantastic Weather Department

Today was a glorious August day here in The Heart of America. (And I may be the first person in the history of the English language to use “glorious,” “August,” and “day” in the same sentence.) This day may be our reward for the long cold winter we endured earlier. It was a beautiful day and I scooted out for my second longest walk of the year (seven miles). I crossed paths (get it?) with several walkers, joggers and bike riders who also were all aga-ga about this delightful summer gift.

I wanna share some pictures I took today on Tomahawk Creek, Kansas.

Two from my folder, “Benches.”

Should I put this in the Benches folder or in the Reflections folder?

Rest above the creek. Quiet, shady, peaceful, beautiful.

Two from my new folder, “Reflections.”

And two from my “Fences” folder.

I like this photo, but the fence is a little short.

The fence we love to hate.

It would be neat to live this day over again.

More Benches

I was in a fancy office building Tuesday afternoon. Look what was in the lobby! They told me that it's a very comfortable bench, too. Yes, I asked permission to photograph it.



This bench was placed across from the other. I was told it's not comfortable at all, but it's very expensive. It was made by Amish folks a long time ago.


Now that I've decided to shoot benches, I find them all over the place.
