Is this a newly constructed skatepark, Roy?  We have a skatepark in the city where I live and a new skatepark being constructed in Leavenworth, WA which is about 25 miles from here.  One of our local Title Company Managers is very active in the Skateboard community.

Roy, would be a tough one around here - just got about 3-5" of snow last night but warm today, so melting quickly.  Bet the young ones are excited about this opening!

I bet there are quite a few kids out there looking forward to this opening, Roy. The flower you have pictured is very interesting. What is it?
