I've always thought that the bubbles in soda was absolutely magical; the way they'd float to to the top and disappeared always amazed me.

Bubbles continue to be a favorite subject matter for me... These are from the Maryland Renaissance Festival (Oct 2011)
Was blowing some bubbles with the kids and decided to take a few snaps. I think I like this one the best.
Just another experiment - a metallic bowl, a coloured pane of glass, some sunlight and plenty of water and oil. Sounds like a recipe? It is and gives you plenty of ideas once started.
This one was "free-hand" ... so no tripod, no special arrangement. Basically just a snapshot.
Inspiration as follows: A steel salad bowl with rests of oil in it, a green welding glass pane lying around in the kitchen (don't ask me how it got there ...) and my son trying to rinse the bowl with clean water.
No way he would have succeeded - but he'd given me a very nice idea and deserves a hug and a cuddle! Looks a bit like "outer space", doesn't it?
Found this on a kids sientist webcite Blowing Bubbles:
Indoors or outdoors bubbles can be lots of fun to play with. They can be little bubbles or huge gigantic bubbles, but they all do the same thing....they float softly in the air until something magically pops them!
What are bubbles? David Winsemius, MadSci Admin from The Mad Scientist Network gives us the answer:
"Bubbles are films of a solution stretched around some kind of fluid, usually air. The film that is easiest to make is a soap (or detergent) in water solution. The the film has thickness and an inside and an outside. Soap and detergent molecules are long thin molecules with many hydrogen atoms that attract each other. They have an electrically charged end that is attracted to water. The soap bubble surfaces have the soap or detergent molecules arranged so that they line up side by side. In the middle of the film is a water and soap solution."
I took a picture of this bubble and loved the reflection in it. I went into Topaz and added the star effect on the sunlight.
