Bauble

Bauble, originally uploaded by gawdessness.

Our youngest turned nine today.

Among her presents was an odd contraption that looked like a plastic sword with scabbard. Fill the scabbard with bubble solution and the "sword" turns into a huge bubble wand at the squeeze of a trigger.

Massive bubbles filled our neighborhood this afternoon and early this evening.

Canon Rebel xti, shutter 1/800, f4.5, 34mm, iso 200

I love this bubble shot. If you cropped it down to just a square around the bubble the upside-down-right-side-up silhouettes would be even more dramatic.

I find taking pictures of soap bubbles to be very difficult. Maybe I need a nine year old with a contraption to manufacture them.; April 13, 2008 at 4:18 a.m.
