Happened to notice these abstract patterns when I came out of the Calgary Zoo recently. We had had three days of rain and there were still some puddles around, including by these metal bicycle racks. I just liked the patterns and colours of the shadows and reflections.

I came across these three young children in a local park with their mother/care giver. She was wonderful with the kids, encouraging them to splash in the puddle and to not worry about getting wet. I did ask permission to take this shot.

A really crummy photo, quality-wise, but I was fascinated by a few raindrops that fell into puddles and transformed into these big bubbles, complete with reflection of the forest and me, LOL. We have been having endless rain for something like a week, until today. All our walks have been in the rain. Flooding in the park was horrendous in places - our "usual" paths turned into raging rivers! Most raindrops fell into puddles and disappeared but, in two or three puddles, I noticed that some raindrops turned into bubbles like the one above : ). I know, I'm weird, LOL!
