It was a rather blustery day, cloudy, windy, overcast and rather gray. But Liberty Park was a nice place to be with the gray water lapping, the Manhattan skyline (Batery Park), Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty in the distance signalling the significance of the day. 5 F-16 fighter jets flew the sky in a V at noon, giving salute to the heroes, past and present. The wind howled some more, and then I came upon a gorgeous patch of pink, magenta and white spring blooms. How nice to have spring back and not go from winter to summer in one fell swoop that is usual of Las Vegas. Perfect spring day. 05/2004
