Last weekend we took a stroll through Kansas City to check out the Crown Center. On the way there we drove passed this awesome suspension cable sculpture. I love sculpture, it is actually an old past time of mine, I was once commissioned to do a sculpture on the...

While doing laundry the other day my wife spotted this horrendous looking spider. She told me to check it out, so naturally I brought the camera with me. Sure enough, this spider was monstrous, one thing Missouri has compared to where we lived in California are bugs...
