This is entitled the Puddle Stone, located on Rombalds Moor, high above Ilkley. There two slabs actually, part of of the Stanza Stones series of carved stones in the Yorkshire landscape. Each one features a poem by Simon Armitage describing water in one of its many forms, hence a Beck Stone, a Puddle Stone, a Mist Stone, a Rain Stone and a Dew Stone. There is also a Snow Stone. The letters were cut by Pip Hall.
Puddle
Rain-junk
Sky-litter
Some May mornings
Atlantic storm-horses
clatter this way,
shedding their iron shoes
in potholes and ruts,
shoes that melt
into steel grey puddles
then settle and set
into cloudless mirrors
by noon.
The shy deer
of the daytime moon
comes to sip from the rim
But the sun
likes the look of itself,
stares all afternoon,
Its hard eye
Lifting the sheen
from the glass,
turning the glaze
to rust.
Then we don’t see things for dust.

These gritstone pavers were reclaimed from an industrial site near Bolton. Originally quarried on the Yorkshire moors in the nineteenth century, and transported for mill-factory flooring, they have made their return journey, over a hundred years later, to rest on Rombalds Moor.
There has been a bit of heavy rain the night before and there was a lot of large puddles in the park people had to navigate. Sun was just about gone here. The extra speed of my new lens let me keep the shutter speed high to freeze the action.
I did not take many PUDDLE photos in 2021, but here are a few.

Can't seem to pass up the puddle these days, maybe this will get it out of my system.
Probably not.

Walking around a construction site. In Jordbro. At the quarry, that once was a forest. Trying to find the best place to shoot some photos of the first building that is being built. I nearly slipped into this puddle before finding my footing.
