While the weather has been nice for a few months now (remember that shockingly balmy Christmas Eve?), spring officially sprung in St. Louis this week — and residents are here for it.
On Wednesday, March 20, 2024, the walkways at Saint Louis University were lined with the campus' famous tulips — or as SLU students call them, “Slulips,” as cherry blossoms gently rained down. Just a few miles west at Forest Park, birds feasted on bugs, parkgoers lounged on blankets on Art Hill and anglers cast their fishing rods for a spring rainbow trout.
Scroll down to see the beauty of spring made manifest on a lovely March day in St. Louis.
