feeding fish
We found this really beautiful park recently that has a natural spring. It is also a rainbow trout hatchery, so you can feed the fish. Which the littles adore. These fish are voracious eaters, and do amazing leaps and wriggles just to get to the food that gets thrown in. So that's fun to watch. The scenery is gorgeous, and there are a couple of waterfalls to top it all off. Not to mention the incredible turquoise waters of the spring, where it is so clear you can see straight to the bottom. It's a treasure! If you're ever in the middle of nowhere Missouri, check out Maramec Spring Park. There's even a pretty interesting museum, too.

But my favorite was the waterfalls.
But the spring was pretty gorgeous, too.
Can you see the fish in the pictures above? Amazing. You can also see them wrestle in the picture below.
It's a beautiful place to while away a morning, and then end with a picnic.

ReplyDeleteWhat a crazy-beautiful place. Love those waterfalls. That is the type of thing I could sit and stare at ALL. DAY. LONG.
I'm biased, I know, but I like the big full pictures more than the collages. You're just so amazing at your photo skillz!
ReplyDeleteOh it's gorgeous! I'd love to have a place as pretty as that to spend our mornings! Our zoo has a little kids area and there's a big pool of fish that you can feed. Andrew thinks it's fascinating! But it's not that pretty - ha!
