Theme 274 - Puddles

Just one of many

Always plenty of these where I live.  This was taken a couple of months ago.  Yesterday I walked the dogs along here and the beck was overflowing in a few places and the puddles had become part of the beck - unfortunately I chose to wear my walking boots rather than my wellies which resulted in some interesting antics to try and continue down the path without submerging my feet - I succeeded, much to the bafflement of my dogs ("why doesn't she just walk through it like we do?").  I clambered through the gorse (very prickly) and hopped on little islands (precariously) and used my hiking stick as balance to leap across the wider areas.  Who needs a gym? - lol

It's beautiful! The contrast of the mirrorlike puddle and the flowing streem. I didn't know there was a word "beck" for a stream in English, the Swedish word is bäck, which is pronounced just like beck.
