Decorative architectural details on many early twentieth century buildings in downtown Excelsior Springs, Missouri. Note the unusual details around the windows.
This will probably be one of the last waterfall shots I'll post this year. Not the best of compositions but simply couldn't resist the light. Unfortunately for me there were other photographers stationed from where I probably would have shot this sunset. Still I loved how the sky, the light, the water, the rocks came together to make up my frame.

Labor Day officially ends summer,
As those who work enjoy one final fling.
Blessed are those who bear the daily burden,
Of whom few savants speak or minstrels sing,
Returning to the shallows of September.
Days of ease give way to hours certain,
A long routine that wends its way towards winter,
Yearning for the promises of spring.
The neighbor's dog started barking at the deer. It's really not a very bright dog, since three horny, aggressive male deer in the prime of their youth could kick its ass. Fortunately for it, there's an iron fence there keeping it safe.
Mainstage: Keep Going
As the CGI community knows, making – and keeping – commitments, isn’t easy. Obstacles arise, global trendlines can disrupt local solutions, and even sustaining the energy and focus to drive projects to completion can waver. Despite this, we know the antidote is as simple as it is true – you must keep going. From community shelters in Ukraine, to farming cooperatives in Kenya; boardrooms in Manhattan, to food pantries in Appalachia; classrooms in Medellin, to salt flats in India – people around the world wake up every day and make the choice keep going. While these choices individually may be small and focused, taken together, they build the momentum needed to overcome the global challenges we face. Last year, the CGI community mobilized for the first time in six years to make over 140 Commitments to address global challenges. Just as climate change, economic inequality, growing health disparities, and backsliding for gender equity continue, we must continue to choose action. We must be nimble, focused, and clear-eyed in our objectives. But most importantly, we cannot allow the scale of the challenges we face to overwhelm the solutions we can bring to bear. We must keep going.
