While in St. Louis I also visited the Shaw Nature Preserve. This too is a beautiful place to see. I did not get to see the prairie or the wetlands as a storm kept me out, but I would consider revisiting there also if given the chance.
Of course every trip to St. Louis is not complete without a trip to the Gateway Arch. For a twist, I photographed it in the dark. I had photographed the Arch in the daylight, but really enjoyed experimenting with night time reflections.
My final stop on this trip was Grants Farm to see the Clydesdales. WOW what beautiful creatures. These horses are incredibly gentle and will run to the fence lines to be scratched and patted. I also took the tram ride around to the petting zoo and past some of the historic architecture on the tour.
