A few days late but Merry Christmas and bring on the new year.
Everyone's laughing but me...an amateur photographer just trying to improve my skills and share the world around me.

Flood waters
Silver Creek over its banks on Old Lebanon road south of Troy Illinois. Needless to say the road is closed.

Silo and Sky
It's been a beautiful summer here in St. Louis this year. The Troy Grain silo is always one of my favourite views here in town. The boy was driving so I was able to snap this picture while the light was red.

Fun in the fountain
A beautiful day here in St. Louis. The family and I went down to the new Citygarden in St. Louis. A wonderful addition to the city.

Baby Turtle
Found this guy in the driveway today flat on his back. Thought he was dead at first but I saw him move a leg and open his mouth. Put him in a plastic dish with some water and he seems to be recovering a bit. Suspect a bird was trying to eat him and he got dropped.

Jukka, Emmpu & Annette of Nightwish
A fantastic concert last night by Nightwish at Pop's. I missed them last year due to circumstances beyond my control but not this year! I've heard some criticism of Annette's ability to pull songs off live but she was outstanding. The band seemed to be having a good time. Glad to see a sizable crowd at Pop's. More Nightwish fans out there in St. Louis than I imagined.

Schneider Paint Company Fire
Just finished mowing the lawn when I noticed the fire just to the north of the subdivision.

Another Sunday, another round of CD ripping
Another Sunday, another round of CD ripping. I'd say I'm about 60% done with the project so far. Some of these CDs haven't been out of their cases in years. Some I had forgotten I even had though I see them on the wall all the time.

Beer
Finally got around to taking the Anheuser-Busch brewery tour today. Free samples at the end.

Forgotten
Saw this little teddy bear in a car at the junk yard yesterday. Just kind of made me a bit sad to see it sitting there. What is the story behind it?
