Soap bubble floating in the sky, slightly processed with GIMP (just playing a bit with global color levels to increase the color contrast, no other changes to the image).

I used the E&E bubble pocket shorts pattern. Added eyelets ruffles to the pockets and also added matching girlie suspenders.

I took this whilst watching someone demonstrating a bubble blowing device. On processing I could see the reflection of the ground within it, reflected upon itself.
So... I've developed an obsession with the reflections in bubbles (bubbles in general in fact). Thinking of doing a little series... There's something magical about a solo, whimsical bubble, just floating through the landscape
I've had bubble "tea" a few times, but I never really paid attention to how they were made. I recently made a point to pay closer attention, and I decided that it looked like something I could make at home. The worker I observed added fresh fruit, evaporated milk, ice, and a dark syrup, blended it, and poured it over black tapioca pearls.
I found the tapioca and large bubble tea straws at an Asian grocery store (both were under a buck). I learned that the dark syrup is actually just a simple syrup made with half brown sugar.
Here is how I made mine (I did this by weight; I have included my guess at the volume measures):
500 grams fresh mango (about 2 1/2 cups)
200 grams evaporated milk (about 2/3 cup)
200 grams syrup (about 2/3 cup--to taste, based on the sweetness of the fruit)
I blended these ingredients together. The mixture tasted so good that I decided I didn't want to dilute it with ice, so I poured in into my ice cream maker, and froze it until it was the texture of a milkshake. If you have a good blender, this could also be made with ice.
Finally, I poured it over about 1/4 to 1/3 cup of tapioca pearls, stirred, and served.
Syrup
1 cup water
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
Bring to a boil, turn off heat, and cover until cool.
Tapioca Pearls
I read that you should have a minimum ratio of 7:1 water to tapioca. My package said 10:1, so I went with that. I brought 16 cups of water to a boil and added the tapioca. When they floated, I covered the pot, reduced the heat to medium and cooked for 5 minutes. Then I drained the tapioca, stirred them with a bit of syrup to keep them from sticking, and chilled them for later. I think these have the best texture at room temperature, so I set them out a little bit before making the drink.
I think the tapioca I purchased must have been parboiled. Some of the other types have to be cooked for 20 to 40 minutes.
Explored!
Someone had a bubble machine at the farmer's market today - what fun! Brought Hinu to her first market up on the square - she's usually with her papa on Saturdays. Had technicolor popcorn, jerky, a rice ball, and a smoothie. Bought a half pound of asparagus. Hmmm, something is not quite right here. ;)
{Project 365 - Day 67}
This is what happens when mom gets a phone call and leaves the bathroom for 2 minutes... took me an hour to clean up the mess, but they had the greatest time of their life...
And if you are wondering... she did not mind the soap on her eyes... she loved it!
