I took a quick trip down to the Fountain yesterday and got some more shots of the Park, which is just beautiful.

Great job, Bob! Wow, Donna Pink and Jaguars Teal, those colors make my heart sing.
Are you excited? (Silly question.) I'll see you tomorrow. Look for the petite redhead who is so excited that she's crying. (I'm planning to arrive between 8:30 and 8:45.)
There's some Friendship Fountain love over at BNC5, too. See you soon!
I am absolutely thrilled about tomorrow, Get to meet a bunch of folks and soem of those responsible for the Fountain over the years.
Got the additional link posted for Bold New City 5.0 and thanks :)
