I love to go to Kimmwick, MO, for their local festivals and to take pictures. Kimmswick is a tiny town on the National Register of Historic Places with about 150 or so residents. Their main strip is comprised of historic buildings, most of which now house tea houses, or small businesses specializing in handcrafted items. […]

So, I’m working on a year long project. There’s this epically awesome tree at Jefferson Barracks National Park and I’m shooting it at every season. So, without further ado, here’s The Spring Tree! LOL If you haven’t been keeping score, here’s a look back at The Winter Tree. Which is the same tree, only in […]

The ducks are all coming out for the start of spring and enjoying the fountains that have been switched back on in the city parks. These guys were so enchanted with that fountain. I was wondering if it was the first day for the fountain to be on. I know I was enjoying the bright […]

That’s why I had to put a little “vintage” touch to the post-process of this picture. So, Grandmother would approve. (I would love for you to […]

OK, we all know I love bridges. Right? I mean, I’ve posted enough of them, haven’t I? LOL Well, The Hubs and I were out walking a new trail and we just came up on this footbridge, kind of lost in the woods. It’s obviously seen better days. The concrete is all broken up. The […]
