Citroen 2CV6 Dolly at Thursford in Norfolk. The car looks like one I’ve seen at the Stony Stratford car shows with its distinctive yellow and green livery. Rather appropriately the colours of Norwich FC, aka The Canaries!
During our mini summer (in Winter) I saw this family enjoying some larger than life bubbles along with lake front in Zurich.
I bought one of these for the kiddos I nanny for but when I opened it and saw it matched my farmers' market stand, I HAD to keep it! They were really sad that I "stole" their bubble machine so we had to go buy another turbo bubble machine!
I've seen much Cuckoo spit but have never previously noticed water droplets before
This frothy foam seems to be all over plants and grass at this time of year,
Cuckoo spit is essentially plant sap that has been ingested by the creature that hides inside it. The creature forces air into the fluid it has ingested and then squeezes the bubbles out through its bum!
To discover what creates these foamy bubbles, simply find a blob of cuckoo spit, crouch down next to it and very delicately swipe it onto your finger. Keep carefully rubbing the bubbles away and you’ll soon discover a tiny little creature that looks something like a green grass seed. Look closer, however, and you’ll notice legs and the black pin-pricks of eyes: it’s a froghopper nymph!
The froghopper nymph is the larva of the adult common froghopper, otherwise known as a ‘spittlebug’. Common froghoppers are small, brown insects (only around 6mm long) that can jump incredible distances to escape threats. In fact, these insects can accelerate to more than 14km per hour in just a millisecond, and a froghopper jump has been recorded as high as 70cm. That’s similar to a human jumping over a tower block.
The jumping ability of spittlebugs means they can very easily evade predators, but their larvae can’t jump. This is where cuckoo spit on plants comes in – the froghopper nymphs use the bubbles they excrete to not only keep moist, but hide themselves from anything that might want to eat them.

Somehow I was tired of old grumpy heads and wanted to make something tiny and cute.
Say Hi to Bubbles :3

Out of the over 250 shots I took yesterday, trying to capture some bubbles goodness, only 2-3 came out. But the looked very pretty anyway, even if I didn't get to photograph all of them.
Now the snow has gone Evan has taken to getting out with his bubble-mower! I looked out the window to see his bubbles sitting on the frosty grass and raced out to get some shots.
The effect gets more weird when you get a closer look. Nice play of lines and almost a hundredfold self portrait :)
Added some sharpening to get more pronounced lines.
Better on B l a c k M a g i c
I thought a contrast with the fire shot this morning would be water, or bubbles in this case, this was taken over the weekend the kids and dogs had such a blast chasing after all the bubbles
