Water lilies in full bloom in Wards Pond

Across Perkins Street and down an embankment from Jamaica Pond, you'll find the much smaller - and far less visited - Wards Pond.

Right now, the water lilies are in full bloom - along with other flowers, some of which you might have to look for pretty carefully, because they're kind of small.

The pond is fed at one end by a waterfall from a tunnel under Perkins Street from Jamaica Pond:

At the other end of the pond, the Muddy River, such as it is at that point, leaves the pond and heads to Willet and Leverett ponds.
