On a crisp December, winter night, when the full moon was bright
a group of good friends gathered together for dinner and a tour of the Missouri Botanical Gardens Glow Light Festival. What an awesome event!
The giant Christmas tree, one of the focal points, seemed as bright as the moon light.
Overhead, orbs and stars dangled from tree branches, competing with the constellations.
Trees were wrapped in brilliant lights in the most beautiful shades of blue and purple.
Light sculptures such as this sprung up from the snow-covered ground, and lighted globes the size of beach balls lay immersed in the frozen ponds.
Icicle lights sprung up out of the ground, as we weaved our way around the gardens, down trails,
and through the tunnel of lights. This is a view from overhead.
At 8:00 p.m. the Garden was crowded with hundreds of people of all ages, sipping hot chocolate, enjoying the magical moment, creating memories...and we were part of it.
Pat, Gerri, Betty and Linda...not bad looking M.E. senior citizens!

Oh wowsers, what a fabulous celebration to add to the dazzling Christmas season, Linda.
Thanks for sharing and taking us along. Wonderful! Susan
Must have been a wonderful evening...so pretty. Lights are the best part anymore for me!
I noticed something odd. In your 2nd photo--the one of the whole group--there was something towering over the rest of you guys. MUCH taller than you and your friends...hairy...looked like it had big feet.
Did you guys see Sasquatch while you were at the Botanical Garden?
Creepy.
Ooh! I love the icicle lights. And the moon. I'm stifling a howl right now.
What a beautiful way to spend an evening!
