Going through old photos of my father’s I came across photos from 1995 taken at Road America racetrack, Elkhart Lake, WI. I am not sure which Aston Martin this is, but it appears to be a DB4GT Zagato. One thing I like about Road America is that the track has multiple grades and not onlyContinue reading “Road America 1995”

Eagle Watching
January and February are the best times for eagle watching at the confluence of the Mississippi river and the Missouri River. Normally I will go up to Grafton or along the Great River Road along the Mississippi. However this photo was taken at the Clarksville Lock and Dam near Hannibal. This was taken with aContinue reading “Eagle Watching”
Soaring Pelican
Now is a good time visit the Mississippi River to view migratory birds. Pelicans, eagles, ducks and geese are all active in the Midwest migratory routs. Good places to view are Riverlands, the River Road through Grafton and the lock and dam in Clarksville. This was taken in Clarksville last February near the lock andContinue reading “Soaring Pelican”

Founded in 1849 as St. Louis’s first rural cemetery, Bellefontaine Cemetery and Arboretum (the first west of the Mississippi) became a unique garden landscape for prominent figures like William Clark andContinue reading “Wainwright Tomb”
Exploring Forest Park’s Mallards and Waterfowl
A pair of Mallards hanging out in Forest Park. The park is filled with waterfowel, particularly geese and Mallards. Not far from the lagoon, these birds flock together making it a good area to observe them.
Mallard Hen in Forest Park
Forest Park in St. Louis has a series of lakes hosting an array of waterfowl. Today I was looking for Wood Ducks but mostly found Mallards and Geese. Click here for more birds.
Father Christmas
St. Charles, Missouri, is an old 18th Century river town and trading post. Main Street, which runs along the Missouri River has been nicely restored, and is the sight of many Christmas activities. Diane and I drove over there from St. Louis for dinner in one of their many unique restaurants. While walking down theContinue reading “Father Christmas”
Empty Bandstand
The Nathan Frank Bandstand on a cold winter day. We had a brief snow but not enough cold weather to freeze Pagoda Lake. A snowy day is a great time to visit Forest Park with the geese and ducks still swimming around and sledders on Art Hill. The park is only a few miles fromContinue reading “Empty Bandstand”
Winter Sets In
Winter is setting in in Forest Park and St. Louis. This is one my favorite areas in the park with the suspension foot bridge and ducks, geese and egrets hanging around. Just east of the park’s Grand Basin, this was the site of the St. Louis World’s Fair, 120 years ago. Click on the photoContinue reading “Winter Sets In”
