After a late night at the opening reception for an art show I’m in, I’m taking it easy today and sharing just some pictures of lovely Kimmswick, MO that I took when The Hubs and spent a relaxed Saturday morning just walking around the town a few weeks back. I just loved these vintage street lights! […]

In Kimmswick, MO, The Hubs and I came across this historic bridge – The Windsor Harbor Road Bridge. This Keystone Bridge Company bridge started its life in the Carondelet neighborhood in 1874, making it the same age at the more iconic Eads Bridge. It originally crossed the River des Peres at Ivory Avenue. In 1928, it […]
I used to go to this park a lot more when I was first married. The Hubs grew up in this neighborhood and this park was his stomping grounds. That kind of carried over after we had kids of our own. But, when we moved to the ‘burbs and my mother-in-law moved to the ‘burbs, […]
Right out of the camera, this shot had me singing “Over the river and through the woods to Grandmother’s House we go.” I mean, seriously. It just looks it. 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 […]
Heh. Came across this really cool, rusty, old foot bridge in one of my travels with The Hubs. Not part of a fancy park or anything, this is just along one of the many walk/bike paths in the ‘Lou, but this section didn’t look particularly well-maintained. Parts of the concrete were all broken up and […]
Standing at the top of the stairs near The Victorian Footbridge in Forest Park last week, I was treated to a beautiful vista. I have nothing special to say about this spot. Just that it looked like a picture postcard or the English countryside. I could almost see Mr. Darcy come riding past on his […]
This is the real deal. An actual Victorian footbridge. It is such a charming element in a park full of charming and beautiful elements. Much more after the jump… This footbridge marks the original entrance to Forest Park and was built in 1885. It was renovated in 1994 by the Forest Park Forever Women’s Committee […]
The Hubs took a couple of days off work (mental health days, he calls them) and he and I headed up to Alton, IL to do a little sightseeing, have lunch at one of their local shops, and take some pictures. Alton is such a cool town, starting before you even arrive. To get there, […]
I got a bug recently to head to downtown St. Louis and take a fresh look at things I’m used to seeing every day. And one of the most recognizable fixtures of the famous St. Louis riverfront, next to The Gateway Arch, is the historic Eads Bridge. “Fun” Facts on the Bridge… Completed in 1874, […]
