This is the uncropped version.
Some of you were close. I never saw it streaked this way.
Here are some other versions in different places along my walk yesterday. How gross is that? Drink anyone? Fortunately for me Kalev hates to get wet.
Hi, I’m Marsha Ingrao, a retired educator and wife of a retired realtor. My all-consuming hobby is blogging and it has changed my life. My friends live all over the world. In November 2020, we sold everything and retired to the mile-high desert of Prescott, AZ. We live less than five miles from the Granite Dells, four lakes, and hundreds of trails with our dog, Kalev, and two cats, Moji and Nutter Butter. Vince’s sister came with us and lives close by. Every day is a new adventure.

Looks like a vernal pool, also known as a puddle of water.

First thing I thought about when I woke up today. 🙂 I was very close with my “cracked frozen puddle.”

I probably replied to this already, but I really think it had been frozen during the night, and that is what caused the design. I don’t know that, but it’s my conjecture. 🙂 I don’t want you to be wrong!!! Gold star anyway!!! 🙂

It looks like it was cracked with stones hitting it.

No, it wasn’t frozen. Much yuckier than ice. That’s why I took the picture because it looked like ice, but wasn’t. Of never seen pond scum look like that!!!
