After having missed this little gem of a park for the entirety of my 4+ decades on this earth, I found Reservoir Park to be completely charming! But, like I said before, this particular day was drizzly, gray, chilly, and nothing was in bloom yet, although we did have the charm of a nice lady […]

One Saturday, The Hubs was off on a hiking trip with a friend of his, so my partner, Jay, and I decided to take the morning and head out to some local spots with the cameras. It was a drizzly morning, but what the heck. At least, I wasn’t riding a bike! Part of the […]
Another of a couple more pictures of our day trip to Alton. One thing about this town is the power lines everywhere. LOL Figured if I can’t beat ‘em, might as well use them to sort of frame the shot! (I would love for you to come back to visit, so please SUBSCRIBE using one […]
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, […]
On one of my trips through Jefferson Barracks Park in the snow (and honestly, these days, it feels like if I don’t go out into the snow, I won’t get out at all), I came across the memorial to the Battle of the Bulge. It overlooks the Mississippi River in the background and honors the […]
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, […]
Sometimes, on a freezing, snowy, dreary winter’s day, you have a total brainfart and think that it’s a good idea to jump in the car, drive for an hour, go take pictures along the banks of the Mississippi River. On the upside though, if you can keep your hands still enough, you find neat old […]
I love watching the ducks. They are so graceful and playful. And so immune to the coldest days when they go out for their swims… Isn’t he pretty? That water was ice cold, but he had no cares, as he wandered over to see if we had anything to feed him. Meanwhile, I was trying […]
OK, settle down. I just don’t know what else you would call this picture. ROFL Naturally, these triggered my “Oooh!! Shapes!” obsession. They are actually quite beautiful, seeming to float over the reflecting pond. At night, they glow, but they were just as pretty and interesting during the day… (I would love for you to […]
This was one of my favorite shots I took at my recent outing to the botanical gardens. If you step off the paved pathways, sometimes, you find a special place to take in the beauty of life. I like to think that that bench there indicates that I wasn’t really breaking the rules by stepping […]
