Steve's Pick of His Own Pics
I'm not a professional photographer by any means, but every once in a while... I get lucky and catch a nice scene. Here are some of my favorite shots:
 |
A particularly strong, arrow shaped storm, flies through Wentzville, Missouri, in 2006. |
 |
Land, sea and sky merge, south of Chatham, Massachusetts, on Cape Cod. |
 |
A different view of the World's Fair Pavilion at Forest Park. |
 |
Rebuilt after a fire... The Jolly Roger reopens on The Lake of the Ozarks. |
 |
Heading back on the ferry from Martha's Vineyard, the sun says goodnight with a rainbow sky. |
 |
My old deer stand, near St. James Missouri. |
