Is that Nessie?



When we first moved to the Yakima Valley, this was a dreary, murky unsafe pond near the town of Granger. The town pulled together to clean up the lake, and took on a dinosaur theme to develop this pleasant and popular park. Is that Nessie? When I stopped to take this picture, I was startled when this dinosaur in the lake moved. This one is a floating sculpture.

That is too funny that the sculpture moves! Great shot and sounds like a really nice community park and pond.

Floating? Cool! It would've startled me too. ;D

Looks like a nice place to visit but I am not too sure about having dinos in the water. Is that to discourage a little dip on a hot day?
