Boy and Bird Fountain
Boy and Bird Fountain in the Public Garden.
A small, nude boy crouched and holding in a bird in his proper left hand. He is kneeling on a rock formation out of which water spouts. The sculpture is mounted on a pedestal in the shape of a bird bath. The pedestal is attached to a large granite pool.
The bronze sculpture and granite base was originally designed by Bashka Paeff (1893-1979) in 1934. Dimensions of the boy: approx. H. 30 in.; Fountain: approx. Diam. 29 ft.
The sculpture is one of four built for fountains in the Boston Public Garden. The original sculpture was subsequently stolen, and a recast made in 1977. The second cast was of poor quality and deteriorated rapidly. The bird has been stolen. As a result, a third cast was made in 1992 by Paul King Foundry, the bird modeled using photographs.

James Hook Lobster Co.
This what is left of the James Hook Lobster Co. on Atlantic Avenue after a fire last week. You can see in the photo firefighters are still watering down the charred remains to make sure it doesn't flare up again. This family business shipped 50,000 pounds of lobster a day all over the world. I posted a picture of its lobster weather vane here last month.
Below are two of the firefighters taking a break after fighting the fire all night.
