Creek crossing

What a fun way for children to cross a creek, and when dismounted on the other side, they run back around to do it again. But, first they have to pull the rope to bring the pulley and seat back to the platform, where they can get back on and zoom over the creek again. The creek was tiny, not dangerous, in the case of someone falling off, even though the kids held on tight. This photo was also taken at Eberly Farm in Wichita, Ks. It's a great place for family fun. They had lots to do, including a farm animal petting area, swimming pool, fishing, barrel ride, and more.

Eberly Farm is a nice place for company picnics, weddings, and other special events: to visit their site and see more, click here: EberlyFarm

Stools and counter

Taken at Chipolte's Restaurant in Wichita Ks.

I didn't think I'd like Chipolte's -

but when a co-worker offered me a cold, soggy taco from there,

I became a loyal patron.

Their taco's are full of flavor.

A day of play

This friendly and playful black lab, strayed over to my place, where he (or she) got a meal of dog chow, and cared for until, her owner could be found. They've since been reunited. I don't do this for every stray dog, but this one had an exceptionally friendly personality. I fell in like with her (or him) right away. Here she (or he) is bringing back the tennis ball, during a game of fetch.

Breakfast

Bacon, eggs and hashbrowns.

Pancakes...

with melted butter, and maple syrup.

Jimmie's

I was impressed with they way this Restaurant's name was worked into the tile on the wall.

Solitude

A lone duck.

Barefoot

What fun - standing barefoot in cool mud, on a hot summer day.

Nesting

parakeet?

It's posing so well, because it's not real.
