St. Louis, Missouri Botanical Gardens. As always, the male is the more flamboyant of the pair.

I have always cared, perhaps too deeply, about environment, wildlife, and animal welfare. Therefore, I support a number of charities that reflect my interests. I have a degree in English and Library Science. But if I had my life to live over, I would have loved to have been a photographer, writer, and/or National Park ranger.
