Turtles, Frogs, and Fish

Nice cool clear water.  We found this fountain in downtown Philly - Turtles and frogs surround the figures in the center, all splashing water everywhere.  This figure has a fish under his legs, a fish on his head and he's holding a bird (goose, maybe?) by the neck.

Pretty weird that the water is on for a while then off for a while.

  1. I like it better with the water on. But then again, water is better with anything... :)

  2. This fountain made me smile. I'll bet there are a lot of little kids who look at that and think, "I wish I could spit like that!" What fun.

  11. That's a very lovely fountain, I love the detail you captured. That second picture is my favorite one from this series. I love the close up of the frog.

  12. That water looks POWERFUL--like if a kid running in the spray from the turtle would get knocked over.

  13. Great fountain photos - maybe it's the surprise factor with the on and off feature? Or conservation maybe?

  15. That fountain is a writer's dream. It's beautiful, fanciful and full of water creatures. What's not to like. I think the water being on is best though. Hope all is well.
