The Backyard Sky
.
There were some fairly interesting clouds in the area yesterday evening, as small rain showers popped up here and there. One was blocking the western sun, so I spent some time in the back yard shooting. I have a dream to someday live in a house with mostly unobstructed views to the horizon, at least towards the west, with perhaps some rolling hills and/or an interesting tree or two for foreground interest. Unfortunately that is not the case at present. Still, the clouds are nice no matter the setting.

I kind of like the one above in black and white.

And finally…
Happy Fourth of July
.
It’s not midnight here yet, but getting close, so I can still wish everyone a happy July 4th. As I sat outside, watching the neighbors explode giant (illegal in Wichita) mortar shell type fireworks over my house, suddenly I thought I should run in here and do a blog post. In the interests of full disclosure, it should be noted that all these fireworks photos were taken at the Wichita Riverfest, which is not in July. The ones with the bridge and Keeper of the Plains statue are from May 2007, and the other one from May 2009. Still, they seemed appropriate, and a good subject to try posting a gallery instead of a single image.
Alright, back outside to man the hose!
Famous Since 1891

When in the heart of Eureka Springs, Arkansas one is confronted with these giant signs painted on the brick sides of this building. I always thought they looked cool. That’s all.
