Thoroughly enjoying the Botanical Garden here in St. Louis lately. There is something really special about going on an overcast, misty, cool day when no one else thinks it’s a good idea. We spent last Monday there, tired of being cooped up inside and found ourselves nearly alone with our thoughts. The calm that follows the cool greens and blues, the sound of leaves rustling and water trickling… to see clearly the perfection of the pattern of a leaf, to appreciate the biodiversity of this world and have some of its exotic varieties at hand, it is all so beautiful!
Take a closer look at your world today — take the time to really see. And have a beautiful weekend!
I’m with you. I’d move in if I could.
We plan our weekly schedule around our visits. If you’re up for an early visit, we go every Wednesday morning when they open early for residents at 7am. It’s such a nice start to an ordinary Wednesday.
I know, Kristin! I have been enjoying following along as you post your Wednesdays at the Garden posts — it’s such a great place!
Have you seen the undulating succulent garden at the CAM? Worth a visit.
Yes, Maggie! I was just there last Wednesday! Completely and utterly amazing!
What a beautiful place! I can smell the damp soil already… Botanical gardens are wonderful places. I have many fond memories of ones in Australia, and plan to build more with my son – both here in the USA and Australia. Thanks for sharing these photos!
