Our part of the country has been baking under the August sun for pretty much the last couple of weeks. We have had actual temperatures reaching over 100 degrees in the afternoons.
We have been taking our walks early in the morning when it's a "only" in the low 80s outdoors. On the day of this photo we walked on the new part of the trail, made of crushed limestone.
This morning we took a look at The Weather Channel, and all indicators pointed to a pleasant morning. The early morning temperature was around 70 degrees, and by noon it would climb to the mid 80s. Considering that this is August in the Midwest, we were going to have a nice day for getting outdoors. We decided to go to Powell Gardens, the botanical garden of the Kansas City area. www.powellgardens.org/
After walking through the Butterfly Pavilion (the special exhibit this weekend), we walked all around the Gardens.
Look closely at the small dot at the top middle of the silo. That's me with my arm raised, waving. The silo is part of the fruit and vegetable section of Powell Gardens. We climbed a spiral staircase to the top, and enjoyed a really nice view.
