Where’s That Kwazy Wabbit?
That’s one of my first thoughts whenever I gaze into the winter heavens and see the famed hunter/warrior Orion. I went out to Snowball Hill Prairie earlier this week to shoot some skyline images of Harrisonville (county seat of the Cass County) with the Christmas lights.

Pssst … Did You Hear ….?

Later, in Photoshop, I blended the 6 images together to get this star […]
