Super nice. What kind of camera do you have?

Kodak EasyShare V530 and that is about all I can tell you about it.  I have had it for five years now.  Any good pictures I get are pure luck as I mostly just point and click.

Nothing compares to views of the sky which offers millions of perspectives, hues, lighting variations and three-dimensional objects. And if that sky happens to centered right over the Flint Hills of Kansas --- it's just heavenly.

Wilma, I have the Kodak Easyshare Z710 and it is really easy to use and takes great pictures.  I wish it was taking pictures of Elk County but maybe next year.  I also have the Kodak All in One printer and am very happy with it and don't have to cry when I have to replace ink, the ink is much cheaper for it and seems to last longer.

It is nice and warm here today but the nights have been in the 30's and I wish it could stay like this for a couple of months.

Can,t wait until I can see those Elk Co skies in person again.  I HONESTLY DREAM ABOUT IT.

Yesterday in Elk County.  I was too tired to do anything except take the snapshots.  We have had such wonderfully blue skies this past month.

This morning across the road north of me.  Almost missed this picture.  The gold was already gone from the top of the tree.  This morning's temperature was below freezing and the leaves are coming down like raindrops.

Thanks for sharing Wilma. I went to Independance on Thursday and enjoyed the trees so much, especially those aroound Oak Valley. The oaks are many colors from green to dark red, sometimes on the same tree then an occasional cottonwood lights up the area with gold. Just beautiful!

Finally a gray day.  The picture is brighter than the day is actually.  A couple of raindrops fell on me as I took the picture.

As most of you know, there isn't much left in the way of outside flowers.  The stems are heavy with seed pods and everything is tones of brown.  I have a flower bed that is mostly wildflowers or roadside flowers.  This morning I noticed something red at the south end of it.  Not having my binoclulars with me, I wheeled to the south end and this is what I found.  The tree is about 12 inches tall and had maybe a total of 20 leaves.

Today was a lovely day in December.  The sky was blue, the wind almost nonexistent.  I just looked out to check the sunset and saw the loveliest blue and pink glow in the west.  There were just enough clouds to reflect the sun's last rays.  Wish my little camera would capture the colors of the sunsets in Kansas.

Oh my gosh, Mother. That is beautiful. Did you make a trip that I didn't know about?
Title: Re: Today in Elk County, Kansas (formerly Kansas)

Yes, we did.  Right soon after you left yesterday.

Is the water that blue in the summer.  That is a wonderful picture.

One of the things I so love when I am in Kansas is the beautiful blue sky, but the water in that picture is just perfect.
Title: Re: Today in Elk County, Kansas (formerly Kansas)

The sky and the water were that blue yesterday.  The angle of the sun just happened to be right.  I will never get a shot like that one again.  Yes, our sky can be that blue in summer but I think the colder temperatures make it more brilliant.

Ms. Bear, the color of water is a reflection of the color of the sky. If the sky happened to be cloud covered, the water would be cloud covered. Since the sky was so blue that day, the water served as a mirror for God.

That is a beautiful explanation, Janet.  Thank you.

Flo has a beautiful picture of a sunrise on her facebook.  Don't you think she should put it on here so everyone can see it?

I haven't put my rain guage out yet.  Does anyone know how much rain we have had?
