Happy Halloween!

More Fall Color

Normally we have great fall colors, but this year is not shaping up to be one of the better years. Lots of brown, but only a little red showing up. Tomorrow my daughter may make an appearance on the blog in all her Halloween princess glory.

Marmaduke House

The Colonel Darwin Marmaduke House, otherwise known as the Warden's residence is one of the nicer houses in town which is now office space. It once housed the warden of the prison, and was built with inmmate labor.

The Walls

These walls are of the old Prison. At one time it was the oldest operating prison west of the Mississppi. A new prison has since been built, and this area is being renovated into a new Federal courthouse and other areas, including a museum.

Paths

A path at our nature center.

My favorite thing to take pictures of in town is the capitol. It is situated in such a way on a hill that you can see it from all places in town on clear days. This is a view from the west.

Fountains

One of the many fountains around the Capital Complex. During the budget crisis the fountains were turned off due to the cost, but someone donated money to keep them running.

Choices

This is a path signs for the paths at Runge Nature Center. Lots of trails, some paved, some dirt trails. Lots of things to see.

Flags of Our State

Flags of Missouri, the US Flag, The POW/MIA Flag and the State Flag, on the flag pole at the Governor's mansion.
