I walk my dog by a puddle in an alley. I pause when we reach the puddle, because the puddle seems like a piece of living art. The puddle sometimes partialy thaws in the afternoon sunlight. The puddle refreezes over night. There are designs and color variations in the ice. When vehicles drive through the puddle, even more patterns form in the ice. Yesterday, the puddle was mostly covered by tree leaves. Today, only a handful of leaves were scattered across the surface of the ice. Since this frozen puddle fascinates me so, I am beginning to wish that the puddle will remain through the winter and not dry up.
You are seeing the puddle as an artist would! Maybe you will be photographing those changes that you see each day. This shot is very artistic and you've composed it really well. I like the splash of color the leaf provides.
@deu49097 Thanks. I think this puddle is a natural work of art. I have grown to appreciate the puddle. I think the drivers of the vehicles who drive through the puddle do not appreciate the beauty of the puddle.
@olivetreeann Thanks for giving me the idea of phtoographing the puddle each day. I do not know if I will be able to do this every day, but it will be fun to make a series of photos of this puddle (as long as the puddle does not dry up).
@daisymiller Even the process of it drying up (if it takes more than a day or two) could be interesting to capture. I'll look forward to seeing what you come up with.
