Are you looking at me?634 viewsAnother butterfuly from the Insectarium. The "eyes", of course, are just designs on the wings.

Insectarium629 viewsOne of the attractions at the zoo is the Insectarium, a building housing many insects, from the creepy to the beautiful. There is also a large dome filled with butterflies, which definitely qualify for the "beautiful" status. We snapped a few pictures of some of them.

Penguin and Puffin Coast614 viewsMore penguins. It was COLD in there-- the brochure said they keep it 40 degrees, which is quite a shock when it's 80 degrees or so outside. and you're wearing shorts and T-shirts! Note that this picture almost looks like a painting, but it is indeed real.

Arch and Old Courthouse608 viewsA picture of the arch, framing the dome of the old courthouse which stands nearby. This is such an obvious location to take a picture that it has to be one of the most photographed spots in St. Louis.

A Room with a View606 viewsOne of the many pictures we snapped from the top of the Gateway Arch.

Monkey See604 viewsThis guy seemed pretty photogenic as well. He's behind glass, which caused some reflections, but it's still a fun picture.

More Butterflies603 viewsNot sure if I was fascinated with butterflies on this trip, or just trying out or schmancy new digital camera's Macro capability a lot...

I don't wanna grow up...602 viewsTim, who refuses to grow up, started making a sand castle on the shores of the Ohio. Cathy soon joined in.

Bend in the Bridge598 viewsOne very unique thing about this bridge is that there is a bend (turn) in the middle of it. This was to help with boats navigating the river, but must have made driving tricky. The bridge itself wasn't much wider than a modern traffic lane, but held two lanes of opposing traffic.

Big Bat596 viewsWe then stepped back across the street to try to get the entire bat in the picture. Not the easiest thing to do, as tall as that thing is.
