The Missouri Botanical Garden

July 16, 2011 By Elizabeth@ Pine Cones and Acorns 2 Comments

The Missouri Botanical Garden located in St. Louis, Missouri is one of the oldest botanical gardens in the Unites States and is in fact a National Historic Landmark. The garden is 79 breathtaking acres with everything from a Japanese strolling garden, to a geodesic dome( the first of it’s kind that was built in 1960 and houses 1200 plants), a children’s garden and the original estate of the founder, Henry Shaw.

What an Entrance!

In 2006, the Missouri Botanical Gardens featured “Glass in the Garden, with several pieces by Dale Chihuly. After the show, the garden purchased four pieces to remain and these are the ones I have featured here. They are spectacular!

These are a series of photographs that I took before my camera ran out of battery. Although I loved everything about the garden the highlight for me were the Dale Chihuly pieces. I have always loved his work, ever since I saw it for the first time in the exhibition, Chihuly over Venice” in I believe 1996 or so.

    Hi Elizabeth – your photographs of the Missouri botanical gardens are so colorful and gorgeous. I too am a huge fan of Chihuly's work. He's also from Washington state just like me! I would of loved to have seen 'Chihuly Over Venice'. His life story is something in itself. I hope you are having a marvelous weekend?

    All my best to you ~ Deb

This is how I feel tonight, as if I am seeing life This is how I feel tonight, as if I am seeing life through the blur of tears and sorrow. Sunday night my friend of 34 years lost her husband of 36 years, because of Covid he did not get to meet or hold his newborn grandson. Then just an hour ago we received a call that my husbands best friend died of a massive heart attack this morning. Sometimes life just knocks you to your knees and all you can do is pray for the  loved ones you’ve lost, cherish their memories and let your time with them sustain you until you meet again. Then you ask God for the strength to get up and move forward. #life #loss #givemestrength #givemestrengthlord #pray
Although I see signs of spring, a daffodil popping Although I see signs of spring, a daffodil popping up from the ground, bright and colorful flowers in the garden center the weather and the calendar tell me otherwise. So I am hunkering down and taking solace inside enjoying the details of a collected home and life. This tapestry is a piece that we purchased over 25 years ago in Paris, it hang in the dining room and makes me smile every time I see it because it reminds me of such a happy and beautiful place. What do you collect? What brings you joy in your home? #collectedhome #collectedlook #homedecor #myhome #homesweethome #interiordesign #frenchprovincial #france #frenchdecor #tapestry #instahome #instahomedecor #acolectedlife #collection
Good afternoon friends, it’s a frigid day here. Good afternoon friends, it’s a frigid day here. How is it in your “neck of the woods?” We took a long road-trip a few weeks ago to the beautiful @colonialwmsburg . I love this place, there is so much to see and do and even wearing masks and social distancing you can still enjoy the history and the beauty of this living museum. Today I am home doing the weekend chores, and of course doing a little baking. I hope that you have a fabulous weekend. #colonialwilliamsburg #williamsburg #colonialhouse #livinghistory #livinghistorymuseum #museum #winterfun #roadtrip #wanderlust #weekend #weekendvibes #weekendmood

“If winter comes, can spring be far behind?” ~ “If winter comes, can spring be far behind?” ~Percy Bysshe Shelly  my answer to that is I hope not! This has been a strange winter and I am sure that for the 4 million people without power in19 states they are hoping spring is sooner rather than later. I hope that you are all well and keeping safe. I’m praying for all of you without power and heat and hope it is restored soon. #pinkaesthetic #art #acrylicpainting #painting #details #artistsoninstagram #artwork #artworld #color #artoftheday #quote #quoteoftheday #quotestoliveby #artofinstagram
