Stop...Here? (26 of 365)

"I'm a racing car passing by like Lady Godiva, I'm gonna go go go there's no stopping me..."

Classic song by an awesome group. Although I have a few others of their tracks that are more of my favorites, this song seems to fit today's photograph.

Obviously this is a place where you are supposed to stop before proceeding with your vehicle, but I wanted to post this for its uniqueness and as a reminder to a lot of us. We see these everyday but this one caught me off guard when I noticed the arrow included with the traffic signal. It is just barely squeezed between the word "STOP" and the stop line, so it begs one to wonder if it was really necessary or if the stop traffic signals were added as an after thought? These sorts of things keep me awake at night, ha!

This photograph was taken with my Nexus One as I was cruising around the city this afternoon. Oh, and for those of you who are still stuck on the artist and the song from the beginning of the post, Don't Stop Me Now - Queen.

Moon Over The Dunes (25 of 365)

The weather has become better and the skies have cleared. One way you can tell is in the mornings 435 highway headed East-bound is backed up because people cannot seem to remember that the sun rises from that direction and they do not bother to put their sun visor down or wear sun glasses so they drive really, REALLY slow. Sorry, I went off on a little rant about how bad the drivers are here, I digress.

Anyways, the weather clearing up has also brought clear, beautiful nights. This is a look over one of the buildings in my apartment complex with the full moon, also known as the Worm Moon or the Lenten Moon, hanging just above the city. This photograph was taken on my Nexus One looking East over my apartment complex and the city.

The Answer To Life, The Universe, And Everything (24 of 365)

A tribute to the newest website of a buddy of mine,  TwentyOneTimesTwo.com. This is also a tribute to one of the greatest books, radio shows, television shows, and movies of all time...The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. If you have not read, listened, or watched anything related to Hitchhiker's Guide where have you been?!?!

This photograph is taken of my washing machine with my Nexus One the other night when I was catching up on laundry and not posting, ya I know, I already slapped myself on the wrist, ha!

It's a Jungle in Here! (23 of 365)

As I have mentioned before, I have quite a few plants sitting around my apartment. This is a peace lily that I have sitting on my end table that looks outside trying to grab all the sun that it can.

This was taken with my Nexus One when I was taking a peak outside from my couch this morning. I cannot wait for my lily to bloom again!

Checking For Trolls (22 of 365)

Went for a walk over lunch today with a couple of friends from work. One of the last few times we will be able to do this over lunch until our company moves to a new building. Sometime in the first week of April we are moving from Leawood to Lenexa, not a huge move but a bigger building and I'm sure a lot of other benefits to the company than I know to list.

This trail is within walking distance from our Leawood office and is called the Indian Creek Bike Trail and goes through Foxhill South Park. A perfect place for sitting outside and enjoying the sun over lunch break.

This photograph was taken with my Nexus One of the 435 Highway bridge that crosses over the Indian Creek Bike Trail and Indian Creek.
