Puddle jumper
Who doesn't love a big puddle? I mean seriously, you could hate the rain, you could hate the went weather, but I think everyone loves a puddle.
At the Smithville, Texas, Photo Festival it was pouring rain most of the day. I saw messages from people online the night before, and all morning on the day of, wondering if they should go. Of course you should go, it's a chance to get out and take photos!
When I first pulled into the town, I got there early. About an hour early, so I just casually drove around the streets to see what I could find that might interest me enough to whip out a camera.
The first thing I noticed when pulling into town was this HUGE, MASSIVE, puddle. It was probably 80' long, 6' wide, and 1' deep in parts. I couldn't get it out of my head.
So at the end of the day, as we were walking back to our cars I suggested to my friends we go play in the puddle. We got some stunt driving with my Subaru in the puddle, we got some dancing in the rain shots, there was some jumping over, and more. Indeed the puddle was great!
My friend Ashley agreed to skip across the water. Playfully, joyously, and without hesitation you could see she was a kid again. I think anytime an adult can let their inner child take over, play, and win, you'll live just a little longer.
Thanks Ashley for kicking off your shoes, and going for it, multiple times, so we could do something as simple as take a picture. It made my day.
