North Shore Trails (video)

Posted on by

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:

Kansas photobook: Sunrise

Posted on by

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:Processed with VSCOcam with e7 preset Processed with VSCOcam with k3 preset Processed with VSCOcam with e1 preset Processed with VSCOcam with e3 preset Processed with VSCOcam with e1 presetProcessed with VSCOcam with e1 preset IMG_7709 IMG_7726
