The Jeremiah was a bullfrog song kept coming to mind after I shot this image frogs are for whatever reason difficult to shoot but this one stayed right there far a minute and presto I got it.
Someone I knew in high school sent me this camera and several lenses and filters when he found out I was into shooting film because he doesn't use it anymore. One of the fitlers is a circular polarizer.
This picture is taken with the filter. Note the reduction in reflection on the mud puddle.
This one is without it.
Funny how mud puddles can look magical in pictures.
From another photo walk with Orbitgal today. This was at an abandoned store we stopped at.

The Common Jezebel (Delias eucharis) is a medium sized pierid butterfly found in many areas of South and Southeast Asia, especially in the non-arid regions of India, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Myanmar and Thailand.
The Jezebel often flies high up in the canopy and usually comes lower down only to feed on nectar in flowers. Due to this habit apparently, it has evolved a dull upperside and a brilliant underside so that birds below it recognise it immediately while in flight and at rest.
It has bright coloration to indicate the fact that it is unpalatable due to toxins accumulated by the larvae from the host-plants. The host plants are various species of small shrubs which are plant parasites growing on branches of trees such as common 'mistletoe' (Loranthus). The caterpillars drop and hang by a thread if the tree is shaken.
Like other unpalatable butterflies the Common Jezebel is mimicked by Prioneris sita, the Painted Sawtooth. The Common Jezebel can be distinguished by the shape of the orange red spots on the hind wing. In the Painted Sawtooth these spots are very squarish whereas in the Common Jezebel they are more arrow head shaped. The Painted Sawtooth also flies faster and will also mudpuddle.
When I feel like I am doing pretty well taking pic, I take a few shots thinking "oh this will be good", and they turn out not as I had invisioned..
So you say practice, practice, practice and that is what I am doing... this series did not turn out like I wanted but I am posting for my benefit because I am going to go back and reshoot as soon as I am feeling better..

This one brings a smile to my face. This beautiful Canada goose was checking herself out in the “mirror” of the mudpuddle and getting ready for a leisurely, late afternoon stroll here in the Appalachian Mountains of Northeast Tennessee.
Miles paused and then walked right through the middle of the puddle, but this time I had no pretense he wasn't gonna get dirty.
This is a reflection of the sun in a mud puddle. We didn't have an unfettered view of the sun at all this day. May 22, 2010.
