Beauty and Fitness 

I took these photos while doing my daily walk for health.  Finding interesting material for my art projects is keeping me more fit. 

   
The thistle provided a few interesting shots. 

      

Speaking of art…

    

My favorite exhibits at the Laumeier Sculpture Park…

Exploring the American West

I spent one week in Nevada, California, Utah, and Arizona exploring the natural world. I have now visited all 48 of the lower U.S. States along with Hawaii.  The National Parks are truly one of the United States’ best ideas.

Historic Main Street – St. Charles, MO

A mid October evening walk took me through the 200 year old buildings, to live music playing at local restaurant and along the Missouri River. Savoring every beautiful evening before the winter takes over Missouri.

A Day With The Dead…

A day at the historic Bellefontaine Cemetery in North St. Louis County. I avoided photographing the famous graves and tombs and focused on the details.
