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 […]

So, I’m still plugging away at the pictures I took at RenFaire last weekend (and hopefully they will be up between today and tomorrow), but that doesn’t mean I don’t have something pretty to share with you today! The Hubs and I found this lovely little, somewhat isolated gazebo when we were last down in Kimmswick, […]
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 […]
I am posting all the photos I take of the St. Louis Renaissance Festival in my Shona Skye Facebook album, but I’m might share one or two individually here, if I especially like them. Like this one… This is my friend, Jen, one of the brilliantly talented dancers with Chuvani Bellydance, who perform at the […]
Look! My Dahlias are blooming! We’ve been so busy the last couple of weeks, I hadn’t really noticed, but look at that! I’ve never grown them before. I wanted to grow Black Dahlias, but I couldn’t find any. Maybe that’s just murder cases. LOL I do love the colors, though. I’ll have to keep these […]
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 […]
Since Jay so frequently likes to play in infrared, I thought I would give it a go in this shot of the stairway just past The Victorian Footbridge. LOL How weird is it that? I actually kind of like it. IR is definitely Jay’s bailiwick, but every once in a while, it’s fun to try […]
This is one of my favorite pictures I got from our day in Forest Park with The Hubs. All around, the city was hustling and bustling, as cities do. Construction all around. Cars honking. Bus brakes squealing. Bicycles speeding past. People talking and laughing. But, one lone soul found peace and quiet in the heart […]
Oh, look! Kristy went to a beautiful park and, right off the bat, her OCD mind was completely captivated by the symmetry of the back of The World’s Fair Pavilion at Forest Park. While The Hubs was enjoying the expansive views, I was all, like, OOH! ORDER! Where is the turtle, you say? After the […]
