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!

    Little Bear

    My mom gave me this tiny bear over 25 years ago... because  I like small things. 

    A few years ago, 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.
