Puddles!

I have always had this strange fascination with puddles. Ever since I was a child, it has been difficult for me to fight the urge of taking the strongest, highest leap into the largest puddle I could find and completely drench myself and everyone around me. Tonight, as I was rushing home from work, the rain was transitioning from a heavy pour to a light mist. I turned off my windshield wipers and noticed the gold glimmers reflecting off the dark pavement of the road. The intesity of the shining gold changed as every puddle differentiated in shape and size. My hectic mood from trying to get home suddenly started to change into a calm mindset. I started to see the puddles as more than just my childish fascination and began to admire them as a beautful, natural formation that becomes even more evident with a blanket of light. The night sky was subtly brightened from the captured golden light of the puddles.I have never noticed how pretty reflections of color could be developed from what I have always considered a boring street light.

Here is a picture very similar to what I saw tonight: http://farm1.static.flickr.com/241/461539323_5e32346689.jpg?v=0
