Tuned

Inside a grand piano.

Geranium

Reflections

Taken downtown. Unfortunately, the windows had not been cleaned recently, so most of the bottom had to be cropped.

Frozen

I woke up this morning to find we were covered in ice. These were taken from my front porch.

Morning on Walnut Street

Christ Episcopal Church

The Southwest Missouri Camera Club took a field trip to downtown churches last Saturday. It was a lot of fun--we went to 3 different churches and then stopped for lunch. I haven't had time to process yet, but I thought I would show a couple.

Shootout

From Wikipedia: On July 21, 1865, in the town square of Springfield, Missouri, Hickok killed Davis Tutt, Jr.. in a "quick draw" duel. Fiction later typified this kind of gunfight, but Hickok's is in fact the only one on record that fits the portrayal. The incident was precipitated by a dispute over a gambling debt incurred at a local saloon.

We were told by "Sassy Eyes" (top photo) that after the shooting they ran through the building that is now the restaurant.

Hickok's

Taken last night at Hickok's Steakhouse & Brewery. There are people in wild west costumes on Fridays, but the first Friday of every month they have a shootout. I'll have some pictures from that tomorrow.

Snow Day

I don't think we got as much snow as predicted, but it was enough to close the schools today. All these pictures were taken at the same time, but I used a lot of contrast and brightness on the bottom one, giving it the look of evening.
