If there is a better picture for a Saturday, I don’t know what it would be. Who doesn’t love this charming porch, with it’s friendly sign and rocking chair? It was all I could do to not run up there, sit in the chair, and relax with a big old lemonade. Of course, I didn’t […]

After yesterday’s long, photo-heavy post, we’re going to kick back and take it easy for Friday. Wandering around the tiny, historic town of Kimmswick, MO, with The Hubs, we came upon this old barn that really spoke to me. I can’t imagine why… I want a barn…with a wine garden…full of wine…Is it too early […]
If you remember, a while back, I introduced you to the Compton Hill Water Tower & The Reservoir Park. A beautiful old structure and surrounding park that I had never even visited, even though I’ve lived here my entire life. LOL Well, I found out during my visit that, once a month during the spring and summer, […]
A few weeks back, The Hubs and I took the afternoon and went to Laumeier Sculpture Park here in St. Louis. It’s a beautiful park, full of modern sculpture and walking trails. Since the 1980s, the largest sculpture, Liberman’s “The Way,” has been the symbol of the park itself. Constructed from eighteen oil tankers, the […]
I have a huge giant tree in my backyard (which I like to call Liability, because if it ever falls down, it’s going to take out about two or three houses, mine included). It is home to a large, extended family of squirrels that enjoy performing acrobatic feats, invading bird feeders, and tormenting my pack […]
I had two options with this shot. 1) Climb a hill that was way overgrown and probably infested with snakes and giant flesh-eating bugs or 2) opt for an “artsy” perspective, while staying relatively clean and safe on the gravel road below the mountain of death standing between me and said abandoned house. Sooooo yeah…I […]
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 […]
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, […]
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 […]
