The trees framing the St. Louis Art Museum turn a bright red early in the fall. On one of my early morning walks in the park I found the leaves beginning to show their bright colors with a lot of the flowers still in bloom.

Fall in Forest Park
I always enjoy walking around St. Louis’ Forest Park. For those that are not from the area, it is the site of the St. Louis World’s Fair and many of the waterways and lagoons are still there.

He did not mind me getting close or moving around. This may be a Caspian Gull, which is rare in this area. ClickContinue reading “Gull on a Post”
