"Water" "Worn and Weathered Thursday"

Playing in the rain

April 3 2013

An old sharecropper's house with its colorful and patched shingle roof is reflected in a mud puddle from recent heavy rains in eastern NC.

Bringing the boys wellington's was the smartest packing move that Marc, Brian and I made. They were great for the beach and water.

Seemed like a good idea at the time. What 6 yr old is going to say "no" to jumping in a puddle?

Outside the baseball complex and into some muddy puddles. Awesome splish splosh splashes

Moon's reflection in a mud puddle. The dark spots you see are little rocks in the puddle.

This week's challenge was tough! This is where having a smaller dog would come in handy.

After two days of rain, Murphy was ready to play and what better place than a mud puddle!

Although I am not completely thrilled with this picutre (color isnt great), I love that it captures his playful side. And, he definitely should NOT be in the mud puddle!

No I am just kidding. The architect(s) probably had no such intention for this building.

Day 200!!!!!! 165 days left! :D

Rainy rainy rainy. I jumped outside my house like an idiot in this mud puddle for at least 10 minutes while cars drove by. I felt pretty special. I edited out something in this picture VERY poorly (with Paint haha). Can you see where?

It rained a lot yesterday...I woke up to a yard full of mud puddles!

And yes, that IS my head reflected in the puddle. Lol!

My little girl is quickly growing and jumping out of that title, but she constantly fills my life with light!
