The sculptures at the park are delightful, the bird and the girl chasing butterflies, and I really like "a slice in time" sculpture too. That tree has a huge trunk! It looks like two trees grew together. It's beautiful, Martha Ellen. Glad you had your picture taken next to it. This looks like a lovely park with so much history attached to it.
