Fargo Parks

 We spent some time geocaching in two parks in Fargo on Sunday afternoon. The first was a Botanical Garden and the colors and flowers were a photographer's delight.

This was a new plant to me. The leaves looked like a corn plant. The flowers were on a stem like a cattail and from a distance looked like a cattail. But it wasn't! Upon checking the correct spelling for cat tail or cattail, I found this is cattail or pearl millet.

Then we visited Island Park stopping at statues and park structures built when the park was a 1939 WPA Project.
