Another picture for the Photo101 workshop. This time the theme is water. It’s a shame we don’t still live in St Lucia – I coined my twitter name @strandedatsea because every time I looked out of the window all I could see was the beautiful Caribbean sea. Water, water everywhere! But sadly I am still in blustery grey England where the rain hasn’t even obliged with my quest to get a photo of water today. Instead as I walked down the road on the way into town to buy cotton wool and pink leggings for World Book Day costumes (don’t ask!), I snapped this puddle scene.
I love the way the bare trees are reflected in the pool – the leafless branches, the mud and the cloudy sky all sum this country up nicely. I think I am starting to see a theme in my photo101 posts – things that represent what I will leave behind when we move to South Africa. Some I will miss, some less so. I wonder if I will be able to continue with this theme through the workshop?
There’s a world in your puddle.

Thank you! Just looking at yours and thinking of all those people with snow and ice. We’ve been snow free this year, much to the children’s disppointment!

since the start of the new year we have had about 4 storms that led to a closing on Monday and then a few inches here and there thereafter. Two snow falls so far this month. I am sooo ready for the snow to be gone!

It may just be a puddle but the reflections make it seem so much more. You are lucky to be seeing so much of the world but I have to agree St. Lucia sounds awesome

St Lucia was one of those places – great for a holiday, pretty hard place to live!

I think this is my favorite of all the shots for the ‘water’ assignment. There were many lovely and creative photos, but this is the one that really stayed in my mind.

That is a BIG move. You are moving across continents! But I cannot wait to see your South Africa photos and hear your stories. 🙂
