Weekend Reflections Week #11


This is a pool at the Missouri Botanical Gardens here in St. Louis, where several interesting items are reflected. You can see the clouds, the adjoining trees, visitors standing along side the pool, colorful bulbs and skinny looking human statues atop some skinny poles. Did I miss anything?

Each weekend Newtown Area Photo hosts a meme post for photographers (and non-photographers) to share pictures which show reflections of any kind. It's a great place to visit and you can spend hours clicking on other blogs to see their pictures of reflections. It's a wonderful journey into the world of photography that I love to take each weekend. There are some amazing artists out there!

I hope your weekend is colorful, sunny and filled with wonder!

P.S. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, to all my fellow bloggers who have sent words of support and prayers for my brother. They are working. I found out that he is now conscious and will soon breathe on his own. God Bless you all!

Sundays in My City

<Unknown Mami
Have you heard of Unknown Miami? She has a delightful blog where she shares photos of her city on Sundays. She invites the rest of us to link up with her and share some of our own city's photos. Click on the logo to visit Sundays in My City!

Here are a few of my favorite places to visit in the city of Saint Louis. I actually live in a suburb called Wildwood, but my pictures so far have been of some of the most exciting places in the "City."

Our Botanical Gardens park spans acres and acres of lush plants, flowers, ponds, sculptures and architecture. Here is my favorite pool.



And, let's not forget the symbol of St. Louis, the Arch... a view from the riverbank!



A day at the sculpture park is filled with surprises in all sizes. Eye See You!!!!



There is so much to see at Faust Park Butterfly House in Chesterfield, my neighbors!



Hope you enjoyed your visit. If you'd like to read about and see more pictures, please visit my friend, Dawn, at BECAUSE I SAID SO. She recently brought her family for a visit and has done a fantastic job of advertising for St. Louis on her blog! I'll be back next week with more on Sundays in My City!!!
