Welcome to Breakfast in America

I’m a Brit who unexpectedly emigrated to the USA in 2008, and this is my photo journal.

It’s an eclectic mix of things; there’s no guiding theme or topic. It is whatever catches my attention, what I’ve been thinking, doing, or piques my interest. Currently that’s mainly backpacking and clearing some of the backlog on my ‘honey-do’ list.

Can you see what I did there?

Can you see what I did there? – Eastney Gas Engine House C1978 & 2014. In June 2014 we visited Eastney Beam Engine House,and I was surprised to find the Gas Engine House Open. I’ve not been in there in thirty years.

Pots

Pots — Old crab and lobster pots piled high on the shore.

Stretch (365:122)

Stretch (365:122) – It is about time the blanket box made a re-appearance.

Family Day

Family Day – Spent with Carol & Jim to celebrate Lanie’s Graduation. Katie was also with us but unfortunately, she left before we decided to take a picture.

Dry Falls

Dry Falls – We’ve never seen more than a trickle pouring over these falls. They obviously run well when it rains, even if only briefly.

Inaccessible

Inaccessible — Well, almost inaccessible. Looking downstream from the Bathing Pool in ‘Deep Hollow.’

    We were at the Kauffman Center last night for Chris Thile with the Kansas City Symphony.

    I decided that the view from a nineteen-thirties building deserved a retro color treatment. I know it’s not period appropriate, but I like it.

    This picture features the T-Mobile Center. Katie recently moved into an apartment in the Power and Light Building, and we were taking in a quick tour of the facilities. The Art Deco foyer was absolutely wonderful.

    This picture features the Diocesan office and Grace & Holy Trinity Cathedral, which can be seen just past the convention center. I waved at my ex-colleagues, but I don’t think they saw me.

    I’d planned to take a picture of Ginger sitting, enjoying the view, which would have been a great silhouette. But Ginger got up as I grabbed my phone. So instead, we have an empty chair. Hilton President Hotel, Kansas City, Missouri.

  • Ginger’s Flowers

    Ginger loves to sit here in the sun in the winter. I liked the light on flowers and thought I’d try to capture it. Unfortunately, the battery was dead on my camera, so, I used my cell phone instead. The odd colored highlights are caused by the crystals we hang in the Sparkle Zone’s windows.

  • Cascade Campground

    Cascade Campground. Day 7 – Road Trip October 2025. Copyright © 2025 Gary Allman, all rights reserved.

    The final leg of my hike back to my campsite. As it was still early, I then drove to St. Elmo, a Ghost town ten or so miles away. The unpaved roads were in the process of being regraded, and they’d been dumping and wetting topsoil on the road, making it sticky, slippery, and muddy.

    With my short road hike and excursion up a brief bit of Section 14 of the Colorado Trail, I managed six and a half miles for my second hike.

  • Chalk Creek Cascade

    This is just the start. The cascade runs for a tad under half a mile and drops over 250 ft. The Cascade campground is just around the corner on the left.
