weekend reflections, a giant puddle
http://newtowndailyphoto.blogspot.com/
After a week of rain, part of our shady school's play area became a big puddle. You can see the reflection of the trees, well almost. The kid jumped into it disturbing my reflection. The kids were having such fun that I couldn't stop them to take a perfect photo. I had to water mark his face.
I added this to explain why I had the water mark smack on the kid's face.
It wasn't a blurry face, it was a deliberate attempt to blur out his face. I am not allowed to take and publish my students photos. I keep my blogging separate from school, so I rather not wait to ask for written permission from the parents through the principal. I choose either to crop their faces or water mark them (which I just learned.)

Very clever solution for a blurry face. I'll have to remember it.
The children in the background all appear to be in a big hurry. When school was in session, I would sometimes watch children walk from the school bus to their homes on our street. If there was a puddle along the road, they would ALWAYS jump in it.

Terrific capture for the day, Ann! Hope you have a great weekend!

I must admit that I first thought it was a some giant unknown (to me) flower species :-)
In such cases as this I usually blur just the face in software. That is easy and most programs can do that.
PS What heatwave??? :-) We have been drowning.
Breathtaking capture, Ann!
I regret not having answered your kind comments earlier. Was traveling.
Thanks for stopping by.
Have a nice weekend!
Great shot. very cool idea, the water mark.
Thanks for the visit.
Have a great day!
Yes, when my husband taught last year, I wanted a picture of him with the class, and couldn't do it. But what is so funny is they let us bring the kids all of food, which I think could be much more dangerous. Because of so many childhood allergies. But anyway, I actually think your picture turned out much better this way!! The one you had wanted would have been a serene and pretty reflection, but this shows the joy of life and youth with the puddle splashing! Sometimes the unexpected doesn't ruin our picture, but makes it better.
Uh-Oh! Well, kids do love water! :)))
apres la pluie vient le beau temps ;O)
bon dimanche !
