No, no, no
No fair. It’s August, dammit.

Grindelia.

Back inside the cathedral, again. It may not be terribly enterprising, but it’s a lot cooler than shooting outdoors.

Just because a picture is obvious doesn’t mean it’s not worth taking. Six exposures combined in Photomatix (still in demo mode).

March?
The weather this year has been crazy, even for Kansas, with winter following spring. This bradford pear is evidently still confused.

Another trip to SCA fighter practice, this time early enough to catch some action.

I’m not sure what this is — there was no label in the pot that I could find.

Wichita rocket. This was originally the ascending portion of a playground slide, but for liability reasons the city fathers dismantled it and closed it up.

Ducks on the Little Arkansas.

This is three different exposures combined in Photomatix to produce an image with detail throughout its dynamic range. (I’m using the software in the demo mode, hence the watermarks.) The effect is analogous to a zone-system contraction, but here the camera and computer do all the calculations, not the photographer, and it works for color. You can perform similar stunts with recent editions of Photoshop (see the pictures of the cathedral from Wednesday), but the full version of Photoshop is expensive, and I’m considering Photomatix for use at home.
One of the three originals is below the fold for comparison. It’s the middle of the three exposures.
