Saturday Snapshot is hosted by Alyce at At Home with Books. To participate, post a photo that you (or a friend or family member) have taken then leave a direct link to your post in the Mister Linky. Photos can be old or new, and be of any subject as long as they are clean and appropriate for all eyes to see. How much detail you give in the caption is entirely up to you. Please don’t post random photos that you find online.

Usually, I have happy pictures for Saturday Snapshot, but this is a little different. I was going through some photos I took on a recent trip to St. Louis, and I came across this one. Sadly, it is not someone’s weekend campsite, this is someone’s home. Now, I don’t know what the winter weather is like in St Louis, but it looks like a good rain could wash this all away. Plus, there is the irony of taking the photo while on a tourist boat cruise, sipping a drink and enjoying the nice weather. It puts me in a very sad place.
