Weekend Reflections: The Sky In A Puddle


This past Monday the sky was trying so hard to peek out from behind the clouds. Hubs and I had been gone all day and when we arrived home I noticed all the melted puddles of snow in the driveway. The first shot above is looking in a puddle on the sidewalk with the nearby woods reflected and a hint of light blue sky. The second shot is the sun and sky reflected in a puddle on the driveway.
For more Weekend Reflections join James here.
You can see a full shot of the sky on my photoblog here.

  20. I'm always looking for reflections in puddles. I'm not sure what other people think when they see you photograph a puddle though? Personally I would think they're doing a Weekend Reflections! Have a great weekend!

  21. You did not have to go far to find a pretty reflection. Right at the door the sky at your feet. I Like the pencilled trees in the puddle.

  22. Very creative, Carletta.
    Took me a few minutes to get the second one, but it's lovely.
    So your snow is melting- are you sad?

  24. Beautiful crisp reflections in these melted snow puddles ... methinks the second is my fave today. Like you, I find myself looking down after rain for similar views with my camera.
    Hugs and blessings,

  27. It might indeed take a while until the beauty will be seen that hids beneath the white of snow - glad that you had the patience to wait and take the pictures.

    Please have a wonderful Sunday you all.
