We've all had those times when someone accidentally photobombed us. Turn those photobombs into photostars!

A child on the Kadena Air Force Base in Okinawa, Japan splashes in a mud puddle created by recent rain.
Photo was taken from a second story window at the apartment my wife and I rent. I used a point and shoot camera and had it zoomed almost to capacity. Therefore the picture is pixelated.
I love cross country. It is an amazing sport, for so many reasons... One of those is the absolute glory of the struggle. It's such a brilliant, inspiring thing to watch people pushing themselves to the limits of their endurance and their speed, especially at the finish. Most racers are in agony at the end, but they run through the agony, because they want to finish, and when they're done, they want to know they ran as fast as possible, as hard as they could.
I find that beautiful.
On an unrelated note, I feel bad. This is my favorite photo from the meet last Saturday, but those aren't runners from our team. The guy in the green is from Newman. Dunno about the other one.
And so we've arrived at the heart of the thing, the pulsating center of gravity. Command central for the site.

After you. Don't worry, I'm right behind you.

Never mind that.
We are in the Gallery of Icons. This is home for all our forgotten lesser gods and goddesses, demi, semi and pseudo gods, our archangels and saints of yesteryore. There's even a few rare mortals of presumed note here.
Now, over here we find the likeness, meticulously sculpted in petrified rat turd by convicted Guatamalan drug smugglers, of Qetzlmergatroid, the Mayan god of mudwalking. Living in cities and walking around in shoes and on concrete as we do, it is hard for us civilized folks to envision a need for a god whose duty it was to oversee the act of walking through mud, but back in the proverbial day, Qetzlmergatroid was a busy god and one justly revered. Fever victims, of which there were many, were made to slog back and forth through mudholes in order to lower their body temperatures and at the same time appease Qetzlmergatroid's demand that they walk through mudpuddles. If they faltered or passed out, they were summarily sucked into whirling mud spirals, never to be seen again until archeologists puzzled and pondered over their bones. Tiny effigies of Qetzlmergatroid, carved out of similarly petrified rodent droppings, were often recovered from these same alluvial deposits and provide us with conclusive proof that Mayans were a bunch of superstitious loonies...
I love when puddles get really huge!

My son's books have been a big source of inspiration for this feltscape as you can see! Piggies and mud puddles are always popular with him :) I did a lot more sewing than needle felting on this piece and I really made a point to use bright colors.
As usual I let some elements be in 3D to have a livelier effect.
The shadow box frame stands on its own which I like because you can simply put it on a shelf :)
