3. Wow, tough choice!

I thought for sure, scrolling down, that "Down" was going to be my choice, but "October Angels" just slapped me across the face - what a gorgeous and powerful photograph!

5. OOH! I recognize number 5!

Its at the Missouri Botanical Garden in St Luis. They have displays of blown glass all over the garden this year, well worth the visit if you are in town.

26. I was planning to visit there last summer.

I was in St. Louis for a conference. Unfortunately, I badly sprained my ankle walking around all that damn road construction around the convention center, looking for a coffee house that wasn't Starbucks. Had to cut the conference short, and had no chance to get to Garden. :( It looks really cool, though.
