Beautiful Autumn Gardens

The St. Louis Botanical Gardens is the perfect place for a Fall day (or any day, as far as that goes!).  I didn't expect to see many flowers in bloom, but thankfully I was wrong.  It's amazing to me how they can get these mums to hang over that stone wall. 

 
The Japanese garden area is gorgeous in every season.
My daughter can never seem to keep her fingers (hands, arms) out of the water, no matter what the temperature is.

One lonely, happy iris still in bloom. 
I don't know what it is about this photo (my husband took this one!) but I love it.  Maybe it's the colors, or that it looks like it's both spinning and sitting still at the same time.  It just looks so peaceful.


And, on this beautiful Autumn day, I want to wish everyone a yummyfriend and family-filled
Happy Thanksgiving!
