This concept may be the product of a fevered brain, since it arrived when I was sick a few weeks ago, but it won’t let me go. So I’m the woman traipsing around the city photographing puddles. I share a puddle fascination with my grand kidlets, although they don’t want to take photos: they want to stomp in them or ride their bikes backwards and forwards through them, splash splash, splash splash.
So the puddle fetish hasn’t gone away? I have some beautiful shiny new rain boots I will bring in September so we can stomp.

What? One boot each?

I will never look at puddles in the same way having seen these beauties. The lesson: look down, look up, as well as straight ahead and around. F stomping in her shiny rain boots will be a sight to behold.

I don’t think they’ll end up coming. Her determination is cabin luggage only. A pity – although we do have our imaginations.

Ah well, the thought that they might come and the fun you would all have were nice while they lasted. Perhaps F will send you a photo of herself stomping in those shiny boots in an Australian puddle.

These aren’t the images of my dreams either, but I needed to clear them.

I was reading an article on photography just after I wrote this post. He was talking about the necessity of eccentricity for photographers, and photographing puddles was his example. I felt that my eccentricity was compromised!

I was hoping to be downtown after rain with marble paving puddles to reflect the gracious building, but that didn’t happen … yet. Reminds me of my dad’s eternal search for a sunset, a green hill and sheep!

Are you still not well, Meg? I have a fine collection of puddle shots too. Why waste a rainy day? 🙂 We walked on a very drizzly day last Monday and i got some lovely pussy willows covered in ‘droplets’. Happy weekend, hon! Hope you’re feeling much better.

I love them Meg. Shows both the drizzly, grey days and yet I can see the slight tinge of green on the branches. My favourite is the 6th one with those legs just sneaking into the top corner.
