121034 or 55034 (depending on your generation) ended its front line career this time last week. Seen here, in its final week of service being photographed from every conceivable angle at Aylesbury station. The Bubble Car would shortly be working 2P65 17.25 to Princes Risborough.
This is from a collection of photos that I took for children's portrait session few weeks back. Really enjoyed working with the kids, and they were awesome models!

We've got this large glass paperweight knocking around the office. I saw the sun shining through it and thought... 'That looks interesting...' Taken using Ixus 80 on macro.
I have been trying to do this for over a year now. this is my first adequate bubble shot.
Inspired by Richard on flickr. I say adequate because you gotta see his stream!! pretty awesome.
after bunch of reading and testing I can say this is my first bubble that I am proud of. didn't have an assistant, so I was making the bubble in one hand and trying to focus and shoot quickly in the other. that's why you see some panning effect :-)
total time: 2.5 hours
total shots: 62
made my own bubble maker because I couldn't find one that could make a big bubble.

The theme is Bubbles. I made bubbles in a bowl, put the camera (waterproof) in the water face up and floated a little plastic bung on top of the water, positioning it over the camera lens. I played white lights against the sides of the bowl, thus highlighting just the bubbles in the centre. When I was happy with the colour and lighting arrangement of my picture, I clicked the remote shutter (phone app) and 'voila'.
I'm not very pleased at all with the background, but there are just scads of out of control variables involved when shooting bubbles. It is so hard to even get one bubble in focus that two seemed worth keeping, and these had exceptionally good colors to them. Not faked up, just cropped and a little curves adjustment for some contrast enhancement.
Sweet Valencia, one of our precious grandaughters enjoyin' one of the simple things in life. Every now & again when the grandkids are blowing bubbles, I will join them. It's fun!...& the last time I joined in, it made me realize how many of the simple things in life we, as adults, miss! When was the last time you, as an adult, went out in your yard during a summer rain & just let yourself get soaked? I've been doing just that the past few years on occasion. It's cathartic! "Stop & smell the roses" is so cliche as to be ignored.... yet it is SO amazingly true! Really look at clouds sometime, .. natural stress relief. Stop & look at a bug. Blow bubbles (You don't need a kid to do it). Draw a rainbow on a sidewalk with chalk. & trees!!! .... watch the treetops sway in a breeze, it seems a language unto it's own. These are just a few of God's antidepressants....they are there for us, & I urge you to consume them!!
Very short exposure before the fog came in.

Bubbles...I didn't think I would be able to do this challenge because I didn't have glycerin or straws...and no way to get them. BUT I read online to substitute baking power and baking soda and it would make bubbles last. Of course I still didn't a straw so guess what I used...a Turkey Baster for the bubbles. Worked like a charm.
This is a photograph of a regular soap bubble that is starting to freeze. It is sitting in a bed of snow.
Backstory: on January 1st, some crazy people in Pesaro take a bath at around noon in the chilly waters of the Adriatic Sea to salute the new year. There was a guy blowing huge bubbles just before the event and I managed to capture this candid portrait near the seaport.
