Great shots, if only those old buildings could talk.
I'd hazard a guess they won't make it through too many more tornados... :|

On historical buildings, are you adding captions?
Before you know it you'll have a better collection than the museum.

Steve,
Your new camera is taking some amazing shots, you know certain people pay a lot of cash for those old
buildings! I'd say leave them alone, let nature take it's course.

I can't wait to see your greenhouse pictures when everything warms up.

No Tornado's close to you this year, I'm praying for you.

Bill

Those are some great shots.

Not many people realize how beautiful the massive
rolling hills of southern Kansas are in spring.

I have driven them many times coming back to Iowa
in spring,from spending the winter in Arizona-

Thanks for the comments! I've had plenty of time this winter to take photos :lol:
One more month to go and spring should be in full swing!


Thanks Bill, I'm hoping for a quiet year weather wise! This is in the yard next to me, have no trouble hearing it when it goes off..................lol
