oh, thanks for posting this. It brings back great memories when I still lived in St. Louis!
Glad you enjoyed it Irene. Thanks for commenting.
Your words take me places I’ve never been. Your photos show me your soul, beautiful friend. xxx
Thanks. That’s an awesome compliment Lavender Dragonfly.
I didn’t get to visit the aviary when I lived in St. Louis so I really enjoyed getting a glimpse of it. Thank you. 🙂
Glad you enjoyed the view. It was awesome, at the time the world’s largest indoor aviary.
