A little gray with age now (instead of green). The Apatosaurus is in great shape and construction project is long complete. Great community garden adjacent at historic house.

I stopped by to see the dinosaur but he wasn't accepting any visitors. The area is closed off with fencing due to a construction project.

Not very green anymore, a little faded from the sun. But still cool to take pics.

We passed this dinosaur on our way to Corpus Christi for the weekend. He seems happily at home in the small town park.
