There’s a beautiful recreation center in our community, complete with a ginormous indoor swimming pool geared to kids and families. One of the cool water features in this pool is a contraption that sits way up high. Think of it as a kind of huge flower sculpture where the “petals” are big, brightly colored buckets.

A trickle of water is constantly pumping up through the center “stem,” slowly filling the buckets, drip by drip. The buckets are attached in a way to be wobbly, appearing to be precarious and ready to blow any second now.
