Illuminations at Botanica

Taken at Botanica during their holiday illuminations display, the night was aglow with thousands of lights.

Glass carrots

A four year olds description of the Christmas Tree: "It has pink balls, bows, candy canes, lights, beads.......... and glass carrots!"

Kids say the darndest things.

When I was a four year old - these were better known as icicles.


Wishing each of you a happy and healthy holiday season - enjoyed in the ways and values, of your tradition and culture.

Train tracks

Another shot of the old railway bridge.

(Please excuse the language - more graffiti)

Railroad Bridge

This is the old Railway Bridge I wanted to photograph.

It's located about a block or two, east of the John Mack Bridge posted on theme day.

I like this bridge so much, I dared to venture past the beer bottle and graffiti to share it with all of you. Luckilly, there were no drinkers or painters to be seen, it was a nice and quiet day by the river.

Graffiti

By the looks of this graffiti, and the the beer bottle, I'm thinking someone was drinking and painting (without authorization on public property). I guess it means something to those that can read the symbols and lettering. To me, it meant nothing. I don't see a lot of graffiti around Wichita. But, as with most major cities - it happens. Continuing on this walk along the river, tomorrow, we'll come to where I was headed - the neat old railroad bridge.

You all had some good, and funny guesses. I smiled as I read them, and LOL'd @ Fenix!

Beer bottle

This Bud's not for me. This beer bottle was seen while walking along the river bank, in search of a railway bridge I wanted to photograph. Whoever tossed this bottle aside, had only drank about half of it. Tomorrow, I'll show you what I saw next. And, the next day will be a photo of the bridge I was after.

Splash

Just as I was taking this photo from under a bridge, a young person with me, was tossing a dirt clod into the water. Splash! This is not the same bridge in yesterday's photograph. Wichita has a lot of bridges.
