Description:
Nine artists contributed to this whimsical sculpture, which was added to Post Office Square in 1982, during a period of extensive renovations to the site. The bronze pond is home to a variety of bronze wildlife, including ducks, frogs, and dragonflies. This celebration of nature complements the location well, since a nearby fountain is dedicated to the memory of George Thorndike Angell, founder of the Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
