Last weekend, we had company visiting from out of town. As I always do when I have out-of-town visitors, I took them to the
Missouri Botanical Garden. And why wouldn't I? Within walking distance of our house, it is one of my favorite places not only in St. Louis, but one of my favorite places, period. I didn't take many photos this trip, but I did get kind of fixated on dragonflies in the lily pond facing the
Climatron. Here are a few of the shots. As always, click for larger view:
Black lily pond, which faces the Climatron at one end and a beautiful little glassed-in pavilion at the other.

Elsewhere in the Garden:
The peaceful and meditative
Chinese Garden. One of my favorite spots.

Scarlet-red coneflower
If you are ever in St. Louis...
