Another photo from my three day retreat on the Mississippi. No phone, no TV, no radio, no news papers, no talking! Quite a place to get back to basics.

Alton, IL
The town of Alton, Illinois on the banks of the Mississippi. Previous photos were from South St. Louis County. This is on the edge of the northern border of St. Louis County near the confluence of the Missouri and Mississippi rivers. Truly great rivers!
A great place to watch the river roll by
This blog, Great Rivers Imaging, comes from the heart of the nation. The confluence of the Mississippi, Missouri and Illinois rivers is just a few miles north of this photo. This outcrop on a bluff overlooking the Mississippi is a great place to observe it all!
Sunrise
I just returned from a three day retreat on the Mississippi. I go every other year so I posted a couple of photos before this one from previous visits. This is the first post from this year showing a fabulous sunrise over the river.
Spring Petals
Time for a Spring visit to Missouri’s Botanical Garden. If you look carefully you will find little ponds like this. Hidden in the rocks of the Japanese Garden, this is an interesting little fountain. https://greatrivers.smugmug.com/Galleries/Missouri-Botanical-Garden/i-XfDhfvP/A
