With ever increasing gasoline prices, all the news lately has been promoting a concept called "stay-cations". In other words, don't burn gas, see the sights in your own regional backyard instead. Well, Ed and I took one of these last Sunday. We went on a long delayed tour of the Missouri Botanical Gardens. We, of course, had been there before, but it's been a rather long time since we actually walked about and checked out the garden. Mostly we go there on Wednesdays in the summertime for the Whitaker Jazz Fest Concerts. Well, the day was warm, hot actually, so we decided a stroll through gardens would be just the ticket. A large amount of other folks had the same idea. But the park was peaceful and lovely to see. Temp wise we decided the English Woodland Garden was our favorite place to sit and just relax. But the Japanese and English Rose Gardens were simply gorgeous too! Have a look and see if you don't agree.
The English Rose Garden.... a rainbow of blossoms!
The Reflecting Pool in front of the Pavillion... complete with floating Chihuly glass globes.
A totally unretouched shot of the Japanese Garden. The rainbow bridge is my favorite.
The bridge from another angle.... lovely! So we'd have to say as "stay-cations" go... our first one was a lovely adventure. Stay tuned for more to come!
