Big post today. Went for a walk around the lake at Heartland Park.

A shot of the city with the autumn colors.

Hmmm...wonder where this goes.

It leads to.....

A beautiful view of the river.

The huge fountain in the middle of the lake

Another shot of the fountain with some of the ducks swimming by.

Another fountain on the other side of the lake.

Close up of one of the faces. In black and white because it's my blog!

Trees are really pretty this time of year.

And of course, the obligatory flower pictures.

Another water feature at the park..

World War II memorial.

The father coming home from the war.

Little boy collecting metal for the war effort. Rosie the Riveter watching in the back.

Parents grieving for the son that will never come home.

Air born assault memorial.

Remembering those who jumped into combat.
