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!

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

Kansas City
While in Kansas City for a meeting, I checked into the hotel. Asked if I had a floor preference, I told them the higher the better (always like a view).
