Blue Heron At The Lake

Do you see him? He’s pretty well hidden in this picture.

Many birds are native, or at least pass through, Riley County. Wading birds, like the Blue Heron, are often seen in areas where there are bodies of water or rivers.

This picture was taken near the Stockdale area of Tuttle Creek.

MCC Basketball

Much of the sports focus in Riley County is on K-State. Don’t let it slip your mind that there is another college in the area. Although small, Manhattan Christian College has athletic teams that are competitive at their level (NCCAA DII). Basketball season for the Crusaders has started.

Come on down to City Auditorium. Schedules can be found here.

Moonrise over Riley County

One of the benefits of living in rural Riley County is that there are fewer distractions to noticing what is in the sky. Having lived in a major metropolitan area in years past, I enjoy being able to see the moon and stars as they rise in the east.

Notice in this picture that the sun had not yet set, but moon is prominent in the sky.

Riley County is home to some great football – whether it be high school or K-State.

I had a chance to be at the K-State vs Texas A&M game last Saturday and snapped this pic.

The stands were pretty full. The game play reminded me of the old Bill Snyder teams. It was very entertaining!
