We had a lovely walk in Jacobsburg State Park on Saturday. Not much color yet, but it was still a beautiful day to be out.

This photo from our weekend trip to Kansas State University is getting lots of views in Friends of the Flint Hills so I thought I'd share it here as well.

We spotted this little one-room Flint Hills log cabin on the road to Pillsbury Crossing in Zeandale Township. It has quite a storied history. It has been said that it was originally built around 1857 by Oscar Meachem who lived there with his wife and their 3-year old son, Charlie. The disappearance of Charlie in October 1858 made national news (click link below). By 1863 the cabin was occupied by Chris Barr and it's still know today as Chris Barr's Cabin. The cabin was later enclosed inside a larger farmhouse and rediscovered in 1962 when the surrounding house was torn down. It was refurbished by local senior citizens in 1992.

As summer 2026 comes to an end, I thought I'd take a few minutes to wander around the yard to catch some of the remaining blooms. The macro on my Google Pixel 10a continues to impress.

We enjoyed our annual trip to Lyon Creek Farm for pumpkin shopping today. Such a beautiful area of Weisenberg Township.

Last post from NH earlier this month. These images are from Diana's Baths in Bartlett. This area is so popular that during the day cars line the road waiting for someone to leave so they can find a parking spot. Traveler tip: go just before sunset and you'll have the place to yourself.

Our next stop (and most spectacular) on the Kancamagus Highway was Sabbaday Falls.

Moving west on Kancamagus Highway in NH, our next stop was Rocky Gorge with a short walk to a lake that was a perfect mirror the morning we were there. Enjoy!
