A sequence of shots I took of the Kansas River on Sunday, May 17, 2015, after the torrential downpour the previous night:

North Shore Trails (video)
Of all the things to do in Lawrence, KS in the spring, there are two things that come to mind. One is sitting on a patio at a downtown bar drinking beer. The other is finding ways to work off the extra calories from drinking beer. While there are several ways of doing this, and some people around here have found a way of combining drinking beer and working off the calories at the same time by playing kickball, personally, I enjoy going for long walks. One of my favorite places to do this is along the North Shore Trails at Clinton Lake, which stretch out for miles and are beautiful year round. I took some video footage on a recent walk and compiled it into this short video:

Clinton Lake at Sunset
Clinton Lake is one of my favorite places in or around Lawrence, KS to go for a walk. Rather than writing in length about why that is at present, I decided I’d rather post some photos I took on October 18, 2014 instead. Here they are: 
When the river is low
When the Kansas River is low, you can walk along the river bed. Here are some photos from early 2014:
Kansas photobook: Sunrise
A couple of months ago I started working the overnight shift at my present job. Before this I can’t remember the last time I saw a sunrise. I’d seen plenty of sunsets, but not one sunrise for several years. It’s one of those things you don’t think about much until you’re seeing it and find yourself awed by how beautiful it is. There are a lot of people who think of Kansas as a fly-over state. Personally, I think the sunrise alone is worth stopping for.
Here are some photos I’ve taken of the sunrise over the summer:

The world outside my window
Some people travel the world to find something new, but sometimes the best discoveries are found in your own backyard. I’ve been living in the same apartment for a few years and never walked around to the back of the building until recently. Apparently, there’s a faery glen just outside my bedroom window I’ve not been aware of. Or maybe it’s a secret entrance to Hogwarts. One way or the other, there are some magically beautiful trees. Here are some photos:

It’s springtime in Lawrence, KS. I just can’t keep myself from taking photos of all the beautiful trees. Here are some photos I’ve taken recently:
