The puddle spirits
hold each walker’s feet in thrall—
who will set them free?

Don’t ask…
I added the link to this one for you – I’ll let you do the rest (you’ve been busy!) I’ll visit again when I actually wake up… ha.
Love the idea of puddle spirits!
Wow have you been busy! Another SSS2 link! Just going to say that I love the idea of puddle spirits but just that has been said! And that building facade looks fascinating!
Thanks, Gemma. I’m loving the “openness” of SS2!
I like to play on puddles not on the streets though. ^_^
Rednesday
That was clever. I like it.
the walkers take some spirit away with them =)
I like your puddle spirits! Very clever. It looks like the tiny green guy jumped up onto the light post to run away from his puddle spirit
We have lots of puddles this time of year, some of them are so big I think there are monsters down at the bottom ready to grab out ankles. – Margy
Neat photos! Thanks for sharing!
love this from photo to words…great job!
I beg your forgiveness for my cutting and pasting my comment, but there was no way on Earth I would be able to make it around the whole globe to wish everybody a Merry Christmas otherwise.
The magical elves that constitute my staff have demonstrated their lack of respect in either not showing up for work at all, or those that have all seem a little worse for wear (if you catch my drift). All they seem to do is sit around smoking cigarettes that, frankly, smell funny. In addition, they play cards and tell dirty jokes rather than do their jobs! Consequently, the reindeer are all filthy and out of shape.
I now have my two sons pulling the sleigh, but they are struggling. I’ve been told that it’s a big ask for a three and five year old, but I made it this far with a couple of mangy chooks, an arthritic wallaby and three peculiar wombats! Unfortunately, we lost all bar one wombat over Mumbai (and the sole survivor is exhibiting clear signs of PTSD).
Anyway, all the way down here at the bottom of the world (A.K.A. Tasmania), and from myself, Jen, Henry and Ezra, please have a Merry Christmas/Winter Solstice/Hanukkah/Festivus/Ashura and a happy New Year!
I hope that all of your holiday photos turn out to be triumphs, your stocking is stuffed full of lots of tasty treats and not coal and that all your naan/ prawn cocktails/ currywurst are all as tasty as can be!
another thing you can stuck in on the street, more than puddles, is hot tar
Nice shot! Happy New Year!
