Symbol of Strength

A bald eagle from the World Bird Sanctuary was at Peers Store outside of Marthasville Sunday afternoon, Oct. 4, for an event hosted by Magnificent Missouri, a nonprofit organization founded in 2012 to conserve and increase appreciation of the Katy Trail and the last 100 miles of the Missouri River Valley through education, events and collaborative projects. Musicians played live bluegrass music from the porch, and the beauty of the season was on display in the Peers Prairie. Photos shown here are by award-winning photojournalist Jeanne Miller Wood.
