puddles

this time last year i was standing in a puddle. i didn't see it coming and the next thing i knew, i was in almost over my head. so i hung out for a while, checked it out, splashed around, took measurements, counted the pebbles...

it was deeper than i expected, and it took me longer to get out than i could have imagined. but this morning i got a picture from San Francisco and standing next to the Pacific Ocean that puddle seemed so small.

i saw another puddle coming a couple of weeks ago, and i think this time i'm just going to walk around it. i already learned how to swim.
