Well, you can find out here.
Some creative person got permission to erect this waterfowl in a pocket park on South Grand Boulevard. It is made of scrap cardboard, tape and varnish. What's it all about? A writer once said that a poem should not mean, but be. Same thing here. The artist intends to let it stand until it falls apart through weather or vandalism. (No sign of the latter, happily.) Another reminder of impermanence.

A creative idea. It has a touch of whimsy to it, I think.
It is rather sweet!
I know an artist who lives on South Grand. Is the artist a local woman?

It certainly is inventive Bob, but one downpour and all that ducky cardboard is mush! That's the whole idea I guess 😀
