101/365: Opposed To Bathing

.

Like yesterday, another detail from Milles Fountain. The overall theme of the work is celebratory - the great meeting of the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers - but some members of the retinue on each side are positively miserable. This one looks like a little boy who really doesn't want to take a bath.

Another treacly springtime postcard on St. Louis Daily Photo Blog today.

100/365: River Monster

.

A detail from Carl Milles' fountain The Meeting of the Waters, between Market and Chestnut Streets. It's about the union of the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers just north of here, each with his or her fishy attendants. More of this over the next few days.

I am not getting up today for the 7 AM start of the St. Louis Marathon.

St. Louis Daily Photo is on a little float trip today.
