Watery Wednesday - The Thinker


My wife spotted this cute as heck fountain quite some time back, but I just today managed to photograph it. It's sort of tucked in between a couple of buildings in a small courtyard at the Washington State Department of Health. There are three of these handsome fellows hanging around the pool.

    Thank you for making me smile today!

    It is a nice pool and does it spray water up?

    That toad has quite a smug expression on his face! What a cute fountain.

    Handsome is the word! He looks like the Buddha of the frog world! Crouching frog, hidden tiger.

    Lol, it's great! From the thumbnail, I thought this was a swimming pool ;-) and was figuring the weather was as gorgeous as last week in Seattle!

    I heard that someone fell into the pool and when he came out he felt a little woozy and talked funny.

    A friend asked him if he had gotten sick from the water.

    He said, "No, no, I've just got a frog in my throat!"

    Lovely photo of a really cute fountain. Kudos to your wife. You should hire her to be your "official" spotter.

    Thanks as usual everybody. I do appreciate it.

    Hilda: You are very welcome.

    Abraham: Yes it does. I'll have to keep and eye peeled. Maybe I can catch another shot when its' on.

    Rob and Mandy: What a movie that would make.

    cieldequimper: Glad you got the chance to experience some good weather while you were in the area.

    Jacob: She already is my official spotter. She actually points me toward many of the shots you see here.

    I love it when cities (or states) have a sense of humor. Nice shot of a nice frog. I'm intrigued by the one in the background, too.
