Photoblog: SWIMMING IN A KANSAS SKY

I grew in the late, great, state of Kansas–the actual middle of the continental USA in a section of the state where instead of being flat (as people expect)we have rolling hills that meet the endless sky at the horizon all around you.  Every year I go home for a few days, and take pictures trying to capture the vastness of it all. Yesterday, I happened to be in a car on the highway at sunset and was able to take some of these shots. I can’t wait to blow them up….

Early Spring at Brooklyn Botanic

This has been a cold, hard winter!  I ran out to the Brooklyn Botanic Garden that should have had Cherry Trees in bud, with tulips and other flowers in full bloom. The magnolias were displayed in their full glory, with only yellow and white daffodils for competition….Good for them. A moment in the spotlight!!!
