Just another Saturday

There is a cemetery in Pleasant Hill. It's a bit in town but not all the way. The entrance is very cool (well, I think so anyway). So my pictures of the day consist of the entrance.

The back side of the entrance. You can tell it's a windy day with all the flags waving.

                                     

One of the memorials inside the cemetery and below the flag says, "All Gave Some, Some Gave All." 

TGIF

Once again, the picture came to me. I was driving on Metcalf Ave a few blocks away from I-435 and saw that the fountain at Vince and Associates Clinical Research had frozen over. The only water running was at the very very top. I didn't notice the 2 shadows in the picture (one being me) and the one that runs down the middle of the picture. Robyn picked this picture out of all the ones I took. She said that the shadow looked like a cross and thought it looked really cool. So, I took her advice and will use this one as my photo of today. 

I should have added a picture of the temperature at the bank across the street with this picture. It was 0 degrees. Don't let the blue sky fool ya!

outside of Overland Park, Ks. 

Baby, it's cold outside...

Well winter is finally here. We got less than 1/2 inch of snow but it was mostly cold and very very (very) windy. It was so cold the dogs refused to go outside. We had to push them out to do their business.

Snow falling on the deck

Evening of January 11, 2012

(Bonus photo of the day or as I like to call it "Bonus Jonas" - you know since the Jonas Brothers have a 4th brother, they call him Bonus Jonas...well anyway- I get it)

I was hoping we would get more snow and less cold so I could take some actual winter pictures. As I was driving home tonight, I just couldn't find a good enough place where there was a lot of snow so I just kept driving. When I got to town, I stopped by the pharmacy to get a Rx and then proceeded to go home. I drove a block and all of a sudden saw this...

Sunset - or a Ball of Fire

It was so awesome. It looked the sun just exploded. And it came out of nowhere. Sometimes pictures just fall in my lap and other times I have to seek them out. Either way, I am happy as long as I can take pictures.

Reminds me of my grandparent's house...

The picture I took today is just down the road from our house. I had originally taken a picture of an old house but then noticed the fence just like my grandparent's had. The secret to not getting hurt around this fence is to just stay away from it. Ha!

Down the road from Mulberry Street

Uhhhh...yeah, I trespassed... 

Always take the side roads...

Growing up, we never took the main interstate when we went on trips. We always took the side roads. You get to see so much more when you do that. Yesterday, I decided to take a side road off of I-50. I knew that I wouldn't be able to go too far because sometimes I do get lost...but about a mile and half down the road, I saw my picture of the day. Due to leaving my camera at home, I had to depend on my cell phone. It didn't turn out that good but I found the shot very interesting. Hope you all do too!

This is the Church of Christ south of I-50 on Smart Road outside of Lee's Summit, Mo... I love how the shadows on the tree looks like a hand with several fingers. I love the shape of the building too. Very interesting.
