What’s cooler than a bubble top dragster? Nothing. No, seriously, I looked it up and a bubble top dragster like totally blows up the cool-o-meter! That’s why the guys over at Beyond The Brick contacted me to help out with their Kickstarter project that’ll help send them and some film and editing equipment to BrickCon 2015 October 1st-4th. Donate to their cause and you, in turn, will get some awesome swag...and maybe one of these totally cool show rod bubble top dragsters built by yours truly, using some neat-o techniques and totally rad colors. Just check out this link to learn more.

Playing with light, filters & of course la bubbles.

In my life, I haven't seen circles like this. Lake Grüntensee is located in a bog area in the Bavarian Alps. I suspect these air bubbles were created by leaking gases. An incredible natural spectacle that I haven't seen before!

Playing around with balloon parts, and I come up with this. The two PowerMiners wheels are not connected, and the canopy is just wedged in there... surprisingly strong connection.

Do not judge from mere appearances; for the lift laughter that bubbles on the lip often mantles over the depths of sadness, and the serious look may be the sober veil that covers a divine peace and joy. The bosom can ache beneath diamond brooches; and many a blithe heart dances under coarse wool.”

I had some competition trying to photograph the bubbles before one of my dogs got to them! Chubbs won this one.

The bubble photo I posted yesterday wasn't the only one I got, here's another of the same bubble a little further away and also has another smaller one in the distance

We took our grandson to Storytime at the public library today. He was delighted with the bubbles but not so much the stories.

I love to watch bubbles float by. they're so calming and perfect.

theme: soothing repetition

Mickey Mouse seems to enjoy the wave of bubbles floating by.

Making bubbles look majestic in photos is harder than it seems :/

This is a piece of metalised bubble wrap tape which I use on my outside tap to keep the frost off during the winter months. Taken just before I removed the tape for the season ahead.
