Color in the mud puddle

I expected the puddle to be frozen this morning. Instead, it looked like it was full of gray muddy water. It took me a while to find the beauty in the monochrome puddle. This shot shows what happened when I found out that there were a few leaves in the puddle and that these leaves brought color to the puddle.

That orange really pops out - think you may make it until the end of the month.

Well spotted and captured!

The gray makes the leaves stand out a little bit more. Very nice.

The colour of the leaf tones so well with the muddy backdrop.

@milaniet Thanks. The puddle is really drying up quickly. I normally don't wish for rain or for snow, but I am beginning to wish for precipitation (so the puddle will fill up again).

@linnypinny Thanks. The neighbors must think it is strange to see me study and photograph this puddle every day.

@olivetreeann Thanks. This photo made me think about color contrasts.

@eyesmile Thanks. The leaves really do seem to add beauty to the puddle.

@tonygig Thanks. I can't believe how much color some of the leaves still have.
