| May 1, 2008 Ed and I had been
dying to get down to the Missouri Botanical Gardens once the weather was nice
enough, and we finally made it this past weekend. A bunch of other folks must've
had the same idea, and we even spied a wedding going on! The tulips were blooming
like gangbusters in every color under the sun. Ed and I both took cameras and
snapped photos all around us. An exhibit of sculptures by an artist called Niki
were on display, and I posed in the belly of the giant cat and mimicked a fountain
lady (drawing a handful of on-lookers)! The Dale Chihuly glass "onions"
looked so pretty floating on the water, and a Botanical Gardens volunteer asked
if we'd like a picture of us together in front of them. We said, "yes, please!"
Some of the scenes were almost too beautiful to be real. The view of the bridge
looked like a Monet painting, only without the Impressionistic blur. It's hard
to imagine such gorgeous surroundings exist within the city limits, but they do.
Ed and I spent three hours prowling the grounds, and we loved every minute. I
wanted to share just a few moments of our lovely afternoon with you. So enjoy!
