Another Puddle Reflection

Yesterday started out cloudy.
Then the sun started peeking out,
Warming the air.
Soon this puddle will be gone.
Leaving just mud.
And the reflection of the sun behind the trees will have to wait for another rainy day.

If Only ...

If only I had known ...
But I didn't.
I would have stayed home ...
But I didn't.

How could I have known
That the clouds would burst
The rain come down like that
Pounding all around.


If only I had known ...
The puddles would form
Lakes, the dry streams
Rivers ...

But I didn't know.
Because if I had known
I would have had stayed home ...

And The Golf Ball Would Not Have Drowned.

Ice Queen Becomes Old Maid

I decided to check out the puddle where I found the Ice Queen during the winter freeze. Much to my surprise, this beautiful frozen woman has morphed in the springtime ... into the profile of a grizzled old maid! Do you see her outline? Huge nose, jutting chin, a whisper of a smile ...

Ice Queen

On a recent cold morning, I took this photo of a frozen puddle in the parking lot across the street. When I got home and looked closely, I was amazed to see this complete face of a lady I call the "Ice Queen". I sent a copy of the picture to my sister, who has the amazing gift of seeing things in clouds, trees and all things nature. She was the one who encouraged me to blog the queen. Hmmmm that didn't sound right did it? Hahaha
