Sunday, first day of Spring 2022, was absolutely beautiful in St. Louis.
I had reserved a couple of tickets online the night before for Missouri Botanical Garden, and we were glad that I did.
Our visit was around midday. There were new signs of life aplenty. From the north entrance we hiked over to the older section, into the Climatron to walk through the rain forest under cover, then out the other side, up past the Chinese Garden and the Boxwood Garden, and around the lake to the far end of the Japanese Garden, then back the way we came.

The Climatron is the world's second largest geodesic dome. (The largest is in Omaha at the Omaha Zoo and houses a desert environment..)

My camera for the day was a Pentax K110 d digital body plus 18 - 55 mm lens.
