Paradise Puddle
I took this photo in the parking lot of Haleiwa Beach Park on Oahu’s north shore. Seconds later an Amoeba invaded paradise.
For those of you new to my blog, this particular Amoeba is a grown man — a natural scientist with an unnatural predilection for seaweeds and protozoa.
Pretty pretty pretty!
Thank you.
Fantastic reflections!!
Thanks, Mar.
Very nice! Your reflections are so clear! Love them!
Thanks!
They are gorgeous, even with the invasion.

Nessa — I thought the invasion added perspective.
It’s a perfect puddle!Wonderful reflections, you got beautiful pictures!
Happy weekend, purrs and love
Luna
Thank you, Luna.
Oh, you’re puddle is just sososo much prettier than mine! And that Amoeba is much larger than most too!
Melli — I don’t think our puddles can be compared — very different subjects. Mine only looks better because it’s exotic.
These are just fabulous!
Thanks, QS.
Perfectly captured!
Thank you, Carletta.
These are great photos! Very cool puddles.
Lena — thanks!
Quilly, it is paradise and beautiful in its superlative! The glow of the sun turned the sun into gold!
One of the best reflections I have seen!
ooops, I meant to say ….turned the sand into gold!
Ebie — that “gold sand” is an asphalt parking lot. That golden reflection on the ground by the puddle is actually scattered sand highlighted by reflecting sun from the panel van parked next to the puddle. The took photos above of of the same puddle, just taken from different perspectives. In one the sand glows. In the other it doesn’t.
Wow ! beautiful ! I participated for the first time. It’s a nice meme.
Gattina — it is a fun meme!
Wow! Those are so beautiful! So golden and beautiful!
Carolyn, thanks.
The first photo is striking Quilly. A masterpiece in a puddle. Who would have thought? Begone amoeba!
John — when I saw the puddle I knew I’d found a superlative reflection. As to chasing away that Amoeba — I’m rather found of him — mostly — and plan on keeping him around.
Yes, I, too, love these photos! You are a superb photographer, Quilly.
Thank you, Gigi — you turn my head.
Q…these are some of the best reflection photos I have ever seen. Well done my friend

What a pretty, clear reflection!
Thank you, Barbara.
oh wow! i know i’m repeating myself but this is stunningly beautiful!
Polona — sigh –when you say I’m doing good I know I’m on the right track!
It looks so warm and inviting! Even reflected in a puddle…
Dimple — that puddle was mostly clear, clean water from the previous night’s rain storm.
These are really great shots! I so look forward to seeing what you will share each week!
Kathy — thank you!
Palm Trees in Puddles — I can only dream.
Some of the most beautiful, exotic reflections I’ve seen. The colors are so rich!

Wow, beautiful reflection! Even the second one still looks gorgeous. Have a wonderful week, Quilly
