  1. Isn't it funny how the plants and animals keep breaking through our barriers, no matter how much we try to discourage them?

    It's a great day in St. Louis, but I heard rumors of the "S" word for Monday.

  2. Is this a good thing or a bad thing? Sad to me, but then again, I like human civilization. (I also enjoy nature, but would rather they be segregated.)

    Photography tip: Wait for better light, usually on thinly overcast days, or after sunrise, or before sunset.

  7. This is the kind of thing I grew up with. Even a little bit of nature inspires me and gives me peace of mind.

  8. I like nature. But I like civilization. Parks are nice. But unkempt and dilapidated urban areas are not my cup of tea.
