This sculpture is Chauncey the Rabbit, by Jim Budish. It was donated in 2004 by Jackie and Jerry Miles. Chauncey resides in front of the Fountain Hills Library.
The photo, below, was my original edit. I showed it to Linda – she thought that the background distracted from the subject of the photo, which is supposed to be the sculpture of the rabbit. So I created a new version, above, which uses an out-of-focus background in addition to making the background a lot darker, which helps to emphasize the subject.
I still like the photo below. In the full size version, it’s possible to zoom in and read titles of the books in the library. It’s also closer to how the scene looked when I shot it.
