This is my application for the contest Reflection Hunters Contest - SMARP (Show Me A Reflection Picture) ~ Round 263 🎺 Announcement by
An interesting time has begun when reflections are seen on the street at every turn. This is not a figurative expression, but it literally is. Liquid mirrors have filled our streets, and sometimes you can't get around them without getting your feet wet. These mirrors are called puddles.
Where should I start my story? I can start from anywhere; there will still be a puddle in every photo. I wasn't even looking for a big puddle; I just left the office and decided to go home, not by a straight road, but by a roundabout route.
Spring has started very violently; the southern warm front has arrived and is not going to leave. She's picking up speed. By the end of March, the weather forecast shows a temperature of +14 degrees. I hope that March will be as warm as March, and we need to get rid of the snow by mid-April.
I finish work at the office at 17:00, and I walk until about 18:30. After 2 days, the length of the day and night will become the same; this is called the Equinox. I love these March spring days. They fill my soul with the energy of the upcoming summer and begin the time of the birth of plans for the spring and autumn period. Of course, the real spring is still far away, there will still be unpleasant cold days, but there is always hope for the good.
The snow cover has dropped a lot in a week. There is practically no cold at night at the moment, and therefore the snow does not freeze, does not become ice, and melts quickly.
This is about how people overcome puddles on sidewalks. But it's still a simple puddle, not very big, and there's a place to get around it. I don't have to go there.
So why didn't I go home right away? I went to the pet store to buy a large tray for our new cat. I already bought a large tray in this store 3 years ago, so I decided to go to this store now.
I bought the cat tray I needed, went to the grocery store, and headed home.
