Puddles have a way of forming repetitively in the same spot. A dip is formed and worn away by surface movement, because what underlies is hard, impermeable rock.
After the rain, this causes water to remain stagnant at the surface and soften the top layer of gravel which then gets pushed and flicked to the side as vehicles or feet pass.

To fix the problem we have to dig deep. A joy to curious children, puddles can seem a nuisance to adults. The ones I navigate in a car on my way home had become a source of exasperation for two decades; they meant delayed parcels, reluctant visitors, a bumpy ride and constant conflict with my local authority over the lack of
maintenance.

On a late winter’s afternoon, I began to document these puddles . One by one , as in an introduction, I familiarized myself with them. Their aesthetic quality, changed focus plane from surface to reflected image and back again. I saw milky earth, bare trees, shed leaves and warm, soft ,tones. Wonder arose from walking with my head down. Puddles have a valuable perspective .
