Tomorrow Bright Before Us

I've always loved this sculpture, "Flame" by Lin Emery.

It lives in front of the Lawrence City Hall.
According to the artist, it was "inspired" by a quote from Langston Hughes (a Lawrence-ite),

"We have tomorrow
Bright before us
Like a flame."

Plus, it's just plain photogenic. Especially with a perfectly clear blue fall sky behind it.
It moves in the wind, and I got a bunch of shots of it to show some of the movement.


From some angles, it looks more like some kind of insect... :)

Cleaning Day

Today, I went back to do the last cleaning and checking to be sure I got everything. Snapped this as I drove out of the driveway for the last time. Goodbye hibiscus in Lawrence.

Here's the place totally clean and ready for the new tenant (who was actually in the place when I took this last photo):
And here's my living room that was pictured below, after I made it livable (I actually live here, now, I have a chair with remotes nearby):

Last Commute

A big reason for the move is to get rid of my commute (a few other reasons come to mind, too, but that's the big one). Tonight was the last time I left work to drive to Lawrence. So, I documented it from beginning:

Solitary Beauty

Apparently this bush from this post is a flowering plant. Well, it has one flower anyway.

If you look closely, you can see other buds that will be blooming soon, but for now, this single blossom is getting all the attention. :)

Roosters Everywhere!

Took this last night on the way to dinner, but it had to make it up here. Charlie the Rooster hangin' out in downtown Lawrence. :)
