We had a late snow today in Kansas. Supposedly this is the latest it has snowed in Eastern Kansas since 1912.

April 26

Driving to work, many times I get frustrated because I can't stop and look at the trees along the the route-divided highway with impatient drivers.  What's really frustrating as a photographer is that often in the morning I hit this road just when the light is perfect for certain types of shots-yesterday for instance. There was this one view where there was a roadcut into the rock and these young trees with their golden green leaves perfectly illumed by the early sun's light.  Light also glinting on the freshly wet rock. Of course in a flash both they and I moved on.

grass laden geese pair
wings kissing baby leafed trees
echos to the east

Friendship Garden

Friendship Garden, a set on Flickr.

Today I went to the Sister Cities Friendship Garden in Lawrence KS. This is a pocket park at 11th and Mass dedicated in the year 2000. Lawrence has several sister cities, this park dedicated to Hiratsuka City Japan. See the plaque for more details.

Oddly enough I had never taken photos here until today; the redbud and cherries in full bloom.
