Lily and I are visiting Bloomington, Minn. for the weekend. I woke up early this morning, and decided to check out the nature preserve just down the road from our hotel.

Hyland Lake Park Reserve, a scenic area in the heart of Bloomington, is part the larger Hyland-Bush-Anderson Lakes Park Reserve. The entire 2,565-acre complex is managed by the City of Bloomington and Three Rivers Park District.
