This was our second visit to Sherman Park. These photos are chronologically arranged except for the last picture. We spent about an hour at the park in the interior bird-watching and playing with an Aerobie. It is a wonderfully quiet oasis in the city. Well, except for the house across Racine that raises roosters.
