Graduation in Hermann, Missouri

By Joyweesemoll @joyweesemoll

We went to Hermann, Missouri (famous as an old German wine-making town on the Missouri River) to see our nephew, Alex, graduate. It turned out that we got to hear him speak, too, because he was salutatorian!

Here he is, looking relieved to have that over with!

We stayed an extra night and were rewarded with some dramatic light, late in the day.

The place where we stayed, Hermann Hill Village, also does a brisk wedding business

Rick thought I was dissing the dredge as a photographic subject, so I tried framing it through the gazebo. What do you think?

I’ll link these up in the morning to Saturday Snapshots.

Saturday Snapshots are hosted each week by Melinda of West Metro Mommy Reads. Check out her post this weekend for lots of great photos around the web.
