SHADOW SHOT SUNDAY 2
I HAD TO GO BACK TO PUDDLE JUMPING! IT'S APPROPRIATE SINCE IT RAINED AND WAS TOTALLY CLOUDY A COUPLE OF DAYS!
THE ROAD- HOME OF THE PUDDLES
A PUDDLE JUMPER
MAY BE A CAR OR A TRUCK
MOST LIKELY A FROG
YOU CAN'T EVEN STOMP THEM OUT!!!
THEY SEEM PRETTY TO A DEGREE, BUT THEY ARE NASTY ON YOUR CAR, AND YOUR BRAKES. HOWEVER THIS IS THE ONLY WAY IN AND THE LANDOWNER WON'T FIX!
SO WE DEAL WITH IT!
LOVE YOU ALL!
JMc
Hey! Your first photo reminds me of the one I posted today!! We're on the same wavelength at the moment. (is that scary or what?!)
ReplyDeleteLove your shots as always, John. :)
great shots john. not much you can do if that's the only way in...
ReplyDeleteKelly-- I saw that and just laughed--seriously--great minds!!! Thanks my friend!
ReplyDeleteJohn Boy
Robin-- I really don't mind so much, being a country boy at heart! Thanks as always for the visit!
John
I love driving through the puddles in my jeep! Nice photos! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteYou do have to drive slow through there!
ReplyDeleteGreat shots, John!
Second to last one... love!
What a terrific series of shadow shots for the day, John! I love them!! The next to last one is awesome and, of course, I love stomping them, too!! Hope you have a great weekend!

The utility seems to be a tree, a stranger who hangs with the trees even without foliage...the puddle has a perfect perspective, it looks almost as big as a pond until the foot (ready to make a real splash) lets us know it is not too big and may be able to be traversed by a frog or a human too...
ReplyDeleteFantastic shadow shots and you have framed them nicely.
ReplyDeleteSo I'm guessing you are not the landowner? They do make some interesting photos though. Hey, your top Shadow Shot is in the same vein as Kelly's this week. Great minds...
ReplyDeleteHappy SSS.
love the sequence of puddle shots - very dreamy
ReplyDeleteJohn you captured those puddles beautifully !The reflections of the trees in them are beautiful .. this is a gorgeous place to take a quiet walk in the woods .. you are so very lucky !!
ReplyDeleteJoy : )
So enjoyed your shadowy puddle jumping shots! Even obstacles can be fun if you let them! It's all in the angle of the camera - real or otherwise! But hey! Stomping out puddles??? Sounds like a bit of melodrama happening there! But love it all!
ReplyDeleteTatjana- I always appreciate your visits and comments!
ReplyDeleteHave a super week and upcoming week.
J
Joe--Now if'n I had a Jeep--we'd be Muddin!! Is that real rednecky sounding- LOL!
^5 Bro- (I stole this from Jeannie- but I like it!)
J
Joan--You are so appreciated. The other day the right rear brake actually froze the tire and I had to rock the car to POP it loose!
Have a great weekend,
J
Sylvia, Remember as Kids we used to search them out for fun....and proportionate to age and the clothes we have on we avoid them at all costs!
Thanks as always for just being YOU!

ReplyDeleteand i appreciate the comment you left on my blog the other day, too! :)
I was going to say - such a pretty lane - but brutal to drive on!
ReplyDeleteFantastic shots, puddle jumpers? They look more like little lakes..
ReplyDeleteI love that last shot John! Thank you for your beautiful contribution to Shadow Shot Sunday.
ReplyDeleteHouse's Shadow, have a great weekend!
Those are more like lakes! You sure you don't live in Minnesota? :)
ReplyDeleteThe second shot is almost unreal. It's really, really cool shot!
ReplyDeleteHappy Sunday!
That second puddle shot looks unreal - well done!
ReplyDeleteGood shadows, John!

Great pictures!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I live in the Columbia area. We will need to meet and have a couple of beers one day.
Things are just now calming down at my house over the car issue.
I'll stop complaining about the state of our road - at least we only have to negotiate a few potholes!
ReplyDeleteBig reflective puddles - you wouldn't spoil them by driving through them surely!
ReplyDeleteRound here the council often used to claim that potholes were "traffic-calming measures".
great shots! i love the water reflections :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures. Soft and delightful shadows. I love the first picture contrast. I am invite you to subscribe to my "Life in Pictures" meme. Have a nice week. Greetings from Romania.
ReplyDeleteYes, delicious and warm shadows. I like those reflections in the puddles. Greetings.
ReplyDeletemaybe troublesome to drive, but, man you got some great shots. :)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely phenomenal display of puddles. It was a pleasure having you visit today.
ReplyDeleteHey....hold on there! We're going to grab our muck boots & join ya! Happy SSS!
ReplyDeleteGreat shadow shots!
ReplyDeleteLOVE these. The fifth one, with the path winding into the woods, is magical. And I had to laugh out loud at the sixth, a puddle-stomping shadow. Great set.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots though I don't think I'd like to jump into any of these puddles as they look too deep, I can imagine me disappearing up to my neck ...... well, I'm not very tall
ReplyDeleteBB-Sounds like a winner. We are in the middle of packing to move, so after that I could use a brew or 40!
ReplyDeleteJ
frayedattheedge- Pot holes are worse I think!
J
Gerald (Hyde DP)- LMBO--Traffic calming measures--Great one--thanks as always for dropping by!
John
Tina´s PicStory- Thanks--I got two in one with the puddles. Shadows and reflections!
John

J
Leovi- The reflections were definitely a bonus! Thanks so much,
Regards,

J
Eden- TYVM!! Appreciate the visit!
J
MyMaracas- Thanks so much! The 5th pic was part of a series I took and I didn't truly realize it's effect until the comments! I appreciate it so much! Now it's my fav!
J
Tracy-- Ha Ha!! LMBO--they are only waist deep!. Actually when full the deepest one would come to mid calf in the middle.
Have a great week my friend,
J
Paula--sorry I didn't see your comment at first! Call me anything you want--but I sure was a puddle jumper as a kid- so it fits!!!!!
ReplyDelete;-)
Regards,
John
Frabjous shadows John. Happy to have found your blog through SSS.
ReplyDeleteI do love the reflections! :)
ReplyDeleteI looked at that last one and thought how wonderfully funny you are but I saw the blue and (hate to admit this) wondered why someone was sitting by the puddle with a blanket on their hand. I was completely lost there for a minute. :)
Sallie--Thanks so much! It is a great way to meet new people!!
ReplyDeleteRegards,
John
Carletta- I guess it would be a confusing pic just to see at first! Thanks as always for you kind comments and New Friendship!
