The Flint River Park

Outside the Flint River Aquarium is a nice little urban park. They have very large art-turtles, like Gainesville has art-gators and Lexington, Kentucky has art-horses. Each has a different design and theme. This particular one showed such a sense of humor.

Look! All you flat water paddlers: rapids, sort of.

The retaining wall was set with benches and interesting and subject-appropriate designs.

The streets downtown Albany were already decorated for the season. The son wondered if it was early Christmas, or simply announcing deer season.
