the clown

I find this clown's smile rather zen-like.
Whatever the heck that means.......

A is for airplane

Nothing like toys and big funky letters......

dino head

I just love goofy kids. Who am I kidding? I am a goofy kid.

a man and a wall of bugs

My Dad at the Belger art gallery in front of a wall of bugs.

flame car

I just love old toys...and fire...and red.

roam with some chrome

Remember when you were a kid and you could ride on someone's handlebars? Well,actually I never could,I was klutz......

the lineup

Some cool old bikes from the guys at Back in the Day bicycle in Parkville. Great bike shop that rents and sells vintage bikes.

have a seat

morning frost

get ready,fall is coming.......

the waterfall

This is one of my favorite places in Parkville,the Nature Preserve. It's fantastic to just sit and stare at this hidden gem for awhile. The sight,the sound of the water,the fresh air,it's all therapy to me.

scene from an Italian carnival

I just love carnivals,wherever they are. The lights,colors,smells and sounds,it's all wonderful.

walking on the train tracks

Summertime fun in Parkville MO.

good eating

"So what did you have for dinner?"
"Oh, the usual, cotton candy and a slushie"

creepy ride

Yeah,let's put the children on the creepy dragon ride,that ought to give them nighmares....

fire hydrant

The fire hydrant was actually this color. No photoshop,it really was this weird.

lifeguard station

Panorama at Malibu Beach. Loved this beach,I just didn't want to leave.

reindeer

Christmas in L.A. Need I say more?

in the doorway

As I was walking through the Nelson-Atkins museum,I noticed a beautiful woman being photographed outside. The small doorway provided some great negative space to frame her in. Nothing like being ready with camera for once.

morning light

I just love the light streaming in from the front door on this shot.

pinata

Nothing says fun like like whacking a pinata with a bat. Could we pick a more dangerous activity for child to do? Maybe carving pumpkins with a chainsaw? Hunting for Easter eggs in poison ivy? I'm sure we can come up with something.....
