Bridge Adventure

Route 66

We've been on a road trip in Missouri. My favorite part was traveling on the old Route 66.
Picture
We made a stop to see an old bridge and this we what I found.
Picture
Picture
Beth and I were excited about the zigzag shape that crossed the width of the bridge.
Picture
Beth's hubby Don, was more excited. "Take a picture of that!" he said. "That's an expansion joint." 
Picture
So of course Beth stuck me in the photo. That was fun!

Lincoln Logs in Missouri!

11/20/2019

Toys at Big Cedar Lodge

Who would have guessed our hotel lobby would have a table, filled with Lincoln Logs?
Picture
I got to rest right up against a nice Lincoln Log cabin.

So Fun!

This is how the table looked when we checked in. No one was playing at the table. The little stools were empty. 
Picture
But there were all sorts of building creations, left behind!

Friends!

It wasn't until we were checking out that Beth noticed 2 parents and their kids, gathered around the table.
Picture
Picture
Beth was pretty cautious when she approached the table. She says you have to be careful or people will think you're crazy, when you pull out a tiny bear and start taking photos.  

I guess she did okay, because suddenly the family was oohing and aahing over me. That was kind of fun.
Picture
Next thing you know, the kids were posing me all over the place. One little boy put me right in the river he'd made. I was lost very briefly, but then found.
Picture
The kids decided the best place for me was high on the green roof. Oh, I hated to leave. The family was having such a good time, including me in their fun. 

We only stayed a few minutes. Beth says she knows just how long to intrude. 

What does that even mean?

St. Louis on Mother's Day

Near the Grand Basin

​
​On Mother's Day, I was in St. Louis with Beth. We visited Forest Park. 
Picture
I've visited the city before and posed near the giant Arch. This was my first time in the park, where the 1904 World's Fair once took place!

The Art Museum and Lagoon

​This is the lovely lagoon and art museum. They were created for the spectacular celebration, 115 years ago. 
Picture
Beth's grandmother attended the fair as a little girl. Beth and her mom went the the art museum together, 75 years later.

Thinking on a Drizzly Day
​
Picture
The park should have been more crowded, but Beth and I had the whole area to ourselves because of the cold, damp weather. The quiet made it easier to sit and imagine the busy fair, so many years ago.

Flowers?
​
Picture
But it was Mother's Day and Beth wanted to pose me in some flowers.
Picture
Beth couldn't find any, so she posed me with the ugly plants. At least I could gaze across the water, where Beth's mother ice-skated as a child.. I looked up at Art Hill, where Beth cross country skied as a teenager... and saved a little boy, whose sled had crashed through the ice of the lagoon.

I loved imagining the stories... on that drizzly Mother's Day in St. Louis. But we needed some color.
Picture
Luckily, Beth knew she'd be traveling on Mother's Day. She planned ahead and brought some colorful artwork, made by her kids about 25 years ago. Who does that? That sounds kind of silly, but I was glad to pose with something springlike, on a colorless day. 

Happy Mother's Day... Happy May!

A Blue Penguin in Missouri

My Big Friend in Kansas City
​

Picture
I didn't travel with any friends on our road trip to Missouri. So I was glad when I made a friend at the 21c Museum/Hotel. I sat on my friend's blue head.

So Smooth
​

Picture
The 21c Hotel is a hotel and a museum. They have sky blue penguins all over the hotel. You can even move them around if you want. I just sat peacefully on his head. I didn't even use his beak like a slide. Although I was tempted.
Picture

I felt like I was part of the art when I sat in the hallway, on my blue penguin friend. 

I'm not sure if anyone noticed me, but I noticed them walking by.

I wish we could have taken this guy home with us.

A Peaceful Spot in Missouri

Near the Spring

Near the Spring


​Last month I was in Missouri.  Beth took me in her camera bag and hiked down a dirt road. I heard her sigh when she found this spot.
​
Stepping Stones
​

Picture
There were stepping stones that crossed the spillway, where the spring water flowed into the lake.  She looked out at the flat stone surrounded by water... then changed her mind about where to pose me.

Tiny Waterfall
​

Picture
Beth said this land once belonged to her Aunt and Uncle.   She remembered coming here as a little girl and being afraid of the waterfall, because she didn't know how to swim.  Thanks, Beth... for not posing me on that stepping stone.  It was breezy and I don't know how to swim, either.

On Top of Ole Missouri!

Hiking at Taum Sauk State Park
​

Picture
Here I am, sitting in an "O" with my hiking stick. I was trying to catch my breath.

Second Vowel
​

Picture
If you are good at "Wheel of Fortune" you might guess I am sitting inside the second vowel of the word, MISSOURI.

Elevation?
​

Picture
But this really isn't about letters.  This is about numbers!  I hiked up to the highest point in Missouri, with an elevation of 1772 feet.  I know. That is not very high, but I have tiny legs.

​The View
​

Picture
The Missouri Ozarks aren't exactly the Rockies... but it's still pretty.

    Little Bear
    ​

    My mom gave me this tiny bear many decades ago... because  I like small things. 

    Some years back, I used
    him in an assignment for a photo club and I got hooked.  This little guy is a great excuse to play.  He fits in my camera bag, so he's always at the ready for a photo shoot.  He's been to a lot of places and he's had a few close calls, with fire, rivers, champagne, wild animals... the scariest of all was when he was lost in New York and returned to me weeks later.  

    I started the blog for Little Bear in 2012, but he got tired of my blogging style, very quickly. He has been writing his own blog for years.
