In late 2010 the Lindsborg Community Hospital remodeled their main entrance lobby. The hospital has a history of displaying art (mostly paintings) by local artists, including some by their own staff. So it wasn’t a big surprise that the decision was made to use photographs from the Smoky Valley as one of the elements of … Read more
Beautiful and dramatic. Northeast of Lindsborg, looking northwest, towards Coronado Heights.

I flew my drone out at the McPherson State Fishing Lake (commonly known as Maxwell, for the adjacent game preserve) today and got a few decent and interesting photos. In hindsight, I should have been on the other side of the lake, looking at the east shore, given the time of day. (Noted for future … Read more
I got out for a good country ramble late this afternoon. I began by riding down the Meadowlark Trail, exiting on Shawnee road which I rode for a mile before getting back to the dirt roads. 16+ miles with a slight southeast wind and temperature around 80 degrees made for excellent riding conditions. Here are … Read more
Here are a few shots taken southeast of Lindsborg. We were heading home, and this view just presented itself and demanded I stop and take a picture or two. I was glad to oblige and reasonably pleased with the results.

The recent rains here in Kansas have yielded some great results when it comes to waterfalls. Many of the falls around the state are looking as impressive as they ever look, and with this in mind we traveled a couple of hours to check out a couple that looked promising. We first headed to see … Read more

Sheryl, Sparkle and I took a nice drive late this afternoon. We ended up heading east for a number of miles, just enjoying the late summer peace and quiet along with the views of the rolling hills that are present out that way. We stopped and picked some surprisingly sweet Sand Hill plums and of … Read more
I had the opportunity to ride the Prairie Spirit Trail earlier today. I rode from Garnett north to Princeton, a distance of just over 15 miles. It was a cool, cloudy day, with some nice cloud formations and only a slight breeze from the south. I took a few photos along the way, and my … Read more
