The Owl in Tower Grove Park

I was taking a walk in Tower Grove Park this morning when a huge owl swooped down right in front of me and grabbed a very unlucky squirrel. It was an awesome sight. I wish I had been able to get a picture of it, but even if I had my camera, I doubt I would have been ready. It happened very, very quickly.  I was really surprised, I never see anything like that out in the country where I live, so seeing it in the city was really great!

These pictures were taken a couple weeks ago, if you don't want to look at a bunch of pretty trees you can stop reading now.

Tower Grove Park

Sean now lives only a block away from Tower Grove Park. It's a great place for just taking a walk so a couple weeks ago when Sean was away and I was checking on his apartment I decided to take a walk.It wasn't the best day for taking pictures but a few came out ok. One of the first things you see when you enter through the entrance on Arsenal is the Turkish pavilion.

I love the area around the lily pond. I took lots of pictures of it but the one above is the only one that came out ok.

The pavilions and other areas for events come in all sizes and can be rented for the day for anything from birthday parties to weddings. All in all, it was a wonderful day for a walk even if the pictures didn't turn out too well. With Sean living so close we will be walking in Tower Grove Park again very soon.
