Yesterday my parents dropped off a large plant at my office (another blog post on that later) and took me out to eat at Grunauer, a German restaurant in Kansas City. The space was so cool – old hardwood floors, antique furniture, and huge distressed-looking mirrors. (Not sure if I got the terminology right on that one.) I shot a few photos of the space, but I think this self-portrait is the most unique.

Day 272: Hungry Eyes
I didn’t intend to use my cat as my model yet again, but when she started looking up with those big eyes and begging for a treat last night, I couldn’t resist making her beg a little longer while I reached for my camera. (And yes, I did give her the treat after I got the photo. She deserved it!)
Day 271: The Wall
I went on my own personal photo walk during lunch yesterday … which basically means I walked around and took pictures of random things while people looked at me funny. I found out that contrary to popular belief, you can get good photos midday! I ended up with several keepers, but this was one of my favorites.
Day 270: Morning Commute
Another reason I like this time of year … I get to see the sunrise every morning on my way to work.
Day 269: Come Fly Away
I’m glidin’ in the beautiful sky, it’s such a clear day, oh
Go ridin’ in your sweet lullabies, come fly away, ay oh
I’m glidin’ in the beautiful sky, it’s such a clear day, oh
Go ridin’ in your sweet lullabies, come fly away

Day 268: A trip to the zoo!
I have friends who are on a mission trip in Mozambique, Africa. When they first arrived a few days ago, they got to go on an African Safari where they saw all kinds of wild animals. As much as I’d love to be with them, this is the closest I’ll get for now – a trip to “Africa” and other part of the world at the Kansas City Zoo. Here are my top five favorite photos of the day. Which one is your favorite?
Day 267: Ahh…Autumn
My favorite season has finally arrived! (Ok Fall…could you just stick around for 6 months and bypass winter altogether?) The leaves are just barely starting to turn on this quite downtown Kansas City street.
Day 266: The Duck Lady
Jerod and I ventured outside with some old bread to feed the ducks yesterday, but this sweet little lady beat us to it. Clearly she feeds them on a regular basis, because they stuck to her like white on rice!
Day 265: Is It Fall Yet?
In honor of the first day of fall this week, I broke out the Crock-Pot to make my hot chili recipe. I just love coming home to the smell of food and a prepared dinner!
Day 264: A New Covet
Yesterday was my hubby’s birthday, so we both took the day off to enjoy a little relaxation time. I took him on a surprise tour of the Harley-Davidson factory. He has wanted a motorcycle for quite a while, but seeing all those Harleys has definitely upped his yearning. I keep joking that he can get one after we’ve gotten our [unborn] kids through college.
