Still with the vacation pics.

Next stop on our trip back from St Louis was Garden of the Gods. That's Garden of the Gods in Illinois. I prefer the Colorado version, but it was a bit out of the way. We found a nice short trail to walk so we could get back on the road.

A seriously mellow bird for being so far from the city.
This picture was taken from exactly as far away as it looks. 

See that spot of pink on top of the rocks?

It's Yummy as seen with a good camera lens.

All that in about a half mile loop.
