Mud Puddle Marble

The puddle looked a bit like a slab of marble to me today. Sometimes when I take pictures of the puddle, I see things and then have to work to get the camera to bring them out. Today, the camera saw the reflections of a tree's branches. I had to look really closely to see the reflections with my eyes.

I had hopes that the puddle would last until the end of January so I could finish my January puddle series. Now, I am not certain that the puddle will last that long. We will see. Today, I noticed that the puddle is very shallow. It is about one half its original length and about two-thirds its original width. Seeing this almost made me wish for rain or for snow (notice the "almost" part).

This is one of the coolest photos so far - very well captured!

I definitely see the marble effect - and that neat reflection.

It has the colour and the lines of marble! The puddle is in disguise!

Got to agree, looks like Marble Daisy, lovely shot.

Also it would make for a great background Daisy.

Yes, it does look like marble. Great shot!

Beautiful abstract. Great find and capture

Love your puddles. Marble, indeed.

I will slowly be reviewing your puddle pictures but how surprising it is to see this after the beginning of the month! The calendar looks so interesting with all those puddle shots lined up next to each other.

Great reflection - you are lucky it is lasting this long as there are a few puddles in Belfast which only lasted a couple of days - although it was never frozen.
