I love this bright, beautiful (and interactive!) flower growing in my garden. Do you know what kind of flower it is?

In case you missed the others this season….

Quick Update

On June 20, 2012June 20, 2012 By LindyIn specials

As you can see, I have been a busy bee updating my blog. I chose a new simple black design, I fixed all the missing links in old blog posts, I added social media links on the right, and I’ve been categorizing a lot of my blog posts.

Check out the Categories panel on the right. If you click a category, such as “night photography” for example, it will take you to all of my night photos. Not every photo has been categorized, but it’s certainly a lot more organized than before. Unfortunately I didn’t realize that every time I added a category to a photo, that particular blog post re-posted. So I sincerely apologize to my readers who just received about 50+ emails from me.

And the biggest update is yet to come – I’ll finally be adding a portfolio section! That empty “My Work” tab at the top will finally be filled. Thanks for your patience!

Here’s a quick photo from a few days ago to tide you over until my next blog post…

Day 229: Hot August Nites

On August 18, 2011 By LindyIn photography1 Comment

This summer, Platte Woods United Methodist hosted “Hot August Nites” – three Wednesday evening jazz concerts with free ice cream. The Beach Nuts, featuring the famous Walter Bryant, entertained us last night. They were both nutty and talented. 🙂

Days 203-204: A little of this, a little of that, a lot of heat

On July 24, 2011June 20, 2012 By LindyIn architecture, photography

The downtown Y is getting a new roof, so it’s been surrounded with scaffolding the last couple of weeks. No one was working when I took this photo Friday…possibly because of the 103 degree temperatures?? On Saturday we hung out with some friends, and I think the heat was affecting all of us, including their dogs, who were particularly lazy that day. I think we might break the 1936 heat record of 39 days of 90+ degree temps.

Day 173: A Summer Walk

On June 23, 2011June 23, 2011 By LindyIn photography

Last night Jerod and I went for a walk to enjoy the slightly cooler than normal weather. Flowers, sun, and … bugs? Definitely signs that summer is here!

Days 154-156: Wet ‘n Wild Weekend

On June 6, 2011 By LindyIn photography

Ok, ok. It may have been more wet than wild. And it may not be summer yet, but it definitely feels like it with the 90 degree temps.

water fountains at the Royals stadium — Friday night we went to a Royals game and watched my Alma mater band play the Star Spangled Banner. We enjoyed the $1 peanuts and hotdogs, free fireworks display, and this lighted fountain. Actually, I think we enjoyed all of that more than watching the Royals lose.

fountaina at Zona Rosa — On Saturday we walked around at the Zona Rosa shopping center for a while, but like the kid slashing in the fountain, we found it too hot to stay outside very long.

at the apartment pool — Sunday afternoon we beat the heat by going to the pool. Everyone else had the same idea too, but they were obviously having a good time.

Day 105: Annual Closet Switcheroo

On April 16, 2011 By LindyIn photography

Yesterday was one of those cold, rainy days where you just want to stay inside. So I decided, despite the 40 degree temps, to do my annual closet switch from my winter wardrobe to my summer one. Jerod thought this photo was hilarious because it looks like I have so many clothes, whereas I looked at this photo and thought, “It looks like I have more winter clothes than summer clothes. I’d better go shopping!”

Days 99-100: A warm, relaxing weekend

On April 11, 2011 By LindyIn photography

I think we jumped straight from winter to summer in the last few days. I absolutely loved spending so much time outside this weekend. We rode bikes, grilled, enjoyed a couple meals on the patio, and hung out with friends – all outdoors!
