Not only is it Easter, but it’s Oddball Photo time. In NE Illinois, the temperature is certainly spring-y, moving up and down day by day. Early in the year, we took advantage of a nice day to go for a walk along the DuPage River and in one of the downtown parks, spotted this fountain, garbed for winter but waiting for spring. I’m not sure how soon it will be active, but I imagine the water just waiting to bubble up with joy when that moment arrives. We’ll be feeling the same!
This, that and the other thing 
The fountain was just turned on in our subdivision’s pond. I cannot begin to say how happy that made me:). Still a bit nippy – but the fountain says spring is coming….right??

Great find. Love the colour of the lining. They look like tin soldiers.
They do look like tin soldiers, Raewyn. This fountain is new to me and I’m looking forward to seeing it with water.

Such a great find and capture. I’ve never seen an empty fountain like that. Great going.
I’m looking forward to seeing it when it’s warm enough for the water to be flowing! It will be quite the contrast, that’s for sure. 🙂

I hope you will have a terrific week.
Thanks very much, Cee. I always enjoy the challenge. It’s never a problem to find oddballs, just a problem to decide which one/s to feature. 🙂

I know odd ball photo opps are everywhere. You are welcome Janet.
Shut down for the winter?
Exactly right.
