Reflecting over a puddle

As kids, we were told to stay away from puddles.

As adults, though, we get to make the rules.

And in my own rulebook, puddles are entirely fair game. Particularly when the Sun long ago slipped from view and the winds have picked up amid the deepening gloom. When you’re about to head into the house but catch a random reflection out of the corner of your eye. When the universe beckons for just a bit more fun before calling it a night.

So you stand in the street and point a lens toward the abstract scene.

Because the only rule that matters is that there are no rules.

Because we all, adults and kids alike, deserve to spend a few minutes playing with light and water every once in a while.

Because play is play. And rules were made to be broken.
