bubblicious

January 28, 2010 By Kristin Zecchinelli

Earlier this week my daughter asked to go outside and blow bubbles.  I am a big lover of bubbles.  We bundled up and took our little pink ice cream cone bubble blower outside in the snow and blew them to the sky.  I had my camera focused on her as she puffed out her cheeks in great effort to make some herself.  (At 3 blowing bubbles is a BIG deal.)  One floated over my head and i followed it with my camera clicking away trying to focus on its flight.  Just then it gently landed on our deck railing.  I assumed it would pop instantly on contact,  it did not.  Instead it balanced on the snow.  The colors drew me right in.  I was mesmerized by the fantastic swirls.  I kept snapping away, waiting for the inevitable ‘pop!’.  That’s when I noticed my reflection; half of me, and house behind me, was right side up and the other half upside down, twisted in the mirror of the bubble.  What a happy surprise.

Bubbles are universal.  No matter your age,  bubbles are happy makers that create some great photo fun.  Do you have any bubble magic to share?  Maybe today you could use some simple happiness that blowing bubbles can bring?  Go ahead,  the kid in you will thank you.

Oh and one more thing, check out this incredible *POP*! WOW.

    I love bubbles! I’m a teacher and last year I used to take my students outside and have them blow bubbles for me:

    I love making images with bubbles. We brought bubbles for the children in Tanzania on our recent Picture Hope trip. Here’s one of my favorites:

    What a coincidence…I posted a few pictures on my blog last week featuring bubbles, anything to make doing the dishes more fun, and yes, they bring out the kid in me.
    Love the colors in the bubblicious photo!

    Such a cool shot! I don’t have kids, but I should just get bubbles to play with anyways. πŸ™‚ But I had a similar experience with a hummingbird that had stunned itself running into our kitchen window last year – I kept waiting for him to fly away, and he just kept sitting there perfectly still on our patio table for me! So I just kept snapping away. πŸ™‚ http://www.flickr.com/photos/trudem/3764796362/in/set-72157612084564706/
