Garden Tour For A Cure 2

It was a very nice day at the Missouri Botanical Garden in St. Louis. A bit warm and over cast, but the Niki Saint Phalle sculptures didn't seem to mind the heat!

This guy was big enough to walk inside of! and the inside was mosaic with mirrors....very fun!


A totem pole, and you could sit on the bottom....a great resting spot in the garden.
The kids were allowed to crawl in and out of this one!

A few roses were still budding, with the heat and rain a lot of them where in full bloom.

I had to repost these photos, photobucket was acting odd, and not loading the slide show. These are from flickr...thanks for coming back and seeing my photos....check out the links below..

Self-Portrait

It was the 2nd Anniversary
of my mother's death
April 1, 2008
Gloomy and overcast
Spring peered out
from between the clouds
And Sprouted
on the trees
Tulips bloomed
along the path
yellow, red, pink
I chose a spot
to sit and think
and snapped
some photos
at arms length.

Japanese Garden
Ahhhh!!!! Spring!
A scrapbook page for the Simple Scrapbook challenge "Self Portrait" you were to scrap a page featuring photos of yourself, taken by yourself. I played with my camera on a recent trip to the botanical garden, it's hard to take a photo of yourself, smiling with teeth without looking like you just sat in gum or on a tack, or in wet paint. I obviously didn't show those photos. Ahhhh,...to be the editor of your own life!
