One of the nicest looking houses in town, IMHO. I really covet that turret room and I love the wraparound porch. If only I had a big enough family and income to afford it... |

Blossoming pink trees everywhere. I love the details of this house. Spring is definitely upon us!
Shot with variable focus to capture details at varying distances. |

Lindsborg, Kansas is known as "Little Sweden" for its founders and their cultural legacy. This 360 panorama was taken in Swensson Park on a balmy winter afternoon. |

An Easter Egg hunt on my front porch. There are three dozen eggs 'hidden', as well as two Easter bunnies, two Mainzelmännchen, one Eeyore, one Rubber Duckie, and if you look really closely you'll find the reflection of the photographer pointing to one of the hidden eggs.
Happy Easter and Happy Hunting!!! [Permission for media use is hereby granted.] |

Near the oldest restaurant in the town - Italian - the Villa Capri of Overland Park; a sole propriator non-chain donut shop - John's Space Age Donuts; a 50's hamburger drive-in cloned from the 1940 original just off the Plaza - Winstead's; a Mexican restaurant with the feel of an open-air south-of-the-border - Tienda Casa Paloma; a short drive to a 50's - 60's discount type department store - Stein Mart on 95th. The White Haven is operated by family of the founders, is clean, friendly, affordable AND the continental breakfast includes John's donuts for only a nickel. A treat for sure! Here's hoping time holds on to this. |
