Photo of the Day: City of Fountains

Kansas City is known for its vast number of fountains, second only to Rome. This fountain in the Quality Hill district is one of my favorites.

I love the simplicity of this Kansas City fountain

I love how these bright yellow tulips are just reaching for the sun!

The tulips are blooming in downtown Kansas City!

Photographic Prints for Relay For Life

On April 19, 2013 By LindyIn architecture, charity, night photography, photography, street photography

I’ve been team captain for our Relay For Life team for several years, so I’m constantly trying to come up with creative fundraisers. Last year I decided to try my hand at selling photographic prints, and I raised about $250 with that fundraiser. Not too bad! Naturally I want to beat that number this year. If you like my photography, please consider purchasing a photographic print. You can pick one of the Kansas City photos below, or you can pick any photo from my blog. Visit etsy.com to place an order. And if you don’t want a print but you still hate cancer, the American Cancer Society and I will happily accept donations to Relay For Life. Thank you for your continued support!

This is a photo I took several months ago and never posted, but I’m gearing up to re-open my Etsy shop to sell Kansas City photographic prints as a fundraiser, so I thought I’d share it with you today. Several of my prints are already for sale; the rest should be ready tomorrow! 100% of proceeds will benefit the American Cancer Society Relay For Life.

Yesterday I participated in the Brew to Brew relay race with a group of friends. Eight of us ran 44 miles from Kansas City to Lawrence. Check out my friend Julie’s blog post to learn more about it!

Mandy ran her leg of the Brew to Brew race on a gravel road. She carried our “Sparkle Ponies” baton with pride!

I took a walk with my camera today and happened upon some interesting artwork near the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts in downtown Kansas City. What do you think of it?

Photo of the Day: MIA Alert

You may have seen my post last week stating that we bought a house. This week, on top of working full time, we’ll be getting the house ready for move-in. Our big move is Saturday, then we’ve only got a couple of days to unpack before our next big adventure. (Any guesses on what that is?) My blog posts will be sporadic over the next couple of weeks, so please bear with me.

Until then, here is another shot from last week’s storm. Can you name the building in the background?

Are you tired of seeing snow photos yet? Well, you may have to put up with a couple more since the ground is still covered with snow. I think it’ll be around for a while.

A cleared sidewalk in downtown Kansas City gives you a good idea of how much it snowed.

Photo of the Day: Downtown and a Plane

I snapped a few photos earlier this week of the Kansas City skyline from the downtown airport. This is one of my favorites, because a plane was taking off at just the right moment.
