Two children stand in the rain. The girl is smiling as raindrops fall on her upturned face, while the boy is intrigued watching a ladybug on a leaf in the puddle.

This life-size version of the Puddles sculpture is installed outside the entrance to Friday Harbor Elementary School on San Juan Island, Washington. Bronze is impervious to the elements even when exposed to sea air and moisture. Standing in the weather, it only gets more beautiful.
