Bubbles in a glass ball, illuminated with red, blue and green finger lights

Unexpected delights are everywhere. Imagine my surprise when I spotted this cluster of bubbles resembling a giant footprint on the beach. Thankfully I was able to take several pictures before the bubbles started popping (see earlier photo for the rest of the story).
I experimented with sprinkling gold glitter flecks onto my bubble today. I found the video of the bubbles deflating more interesting than the way the bubble itself. I posted the video to my Instagram account if you are interested, @auntneecey.
The site of Morecambe's former Leisure Park and Bubbles is set to be transformed into the much-anticipated Eden Project.
Once incredibly popular with holidaymakers from all over the north west, this area of Morecambe Promenade has a rich history.
Opened in 1936 - a time when Britain experienced a golden age of open-air swimming pools - Morecambe's Super Swimming Stadium was built to rival to Blackpool's grand South Shore Swimming Coliseum. The stadium boasted a championship swimming course, water polo area, diving stage, grandstands, promenade, sun terrace and even an artificial beach.
This impressive pool was the longest in Europe and once saw 27,000 bathers in just two days. It was one of the town's main attractions, hosting prestigious swimming and aquatic events throughout the year, including the Miss Great Britain beauty contest.
Unfortunately, the stadium closed its doors in 1975 due to structural defects and was demolished a year later. Part of the structure was used as a Dolphinarium before the entire site was cleared for a leisure park.
Morecambe Leisure Park opened in the summer of 1979, with its main attraction being the heated open-air leisure pool known as Blue Lagoon. The pool was particularly popular for its wave-making machine, and also featured a separate cascade pool and sun-trap terrace.
The Leisure Park in Morecambe, which opened in the holiday town's late 20th century peak, was situated near Marineland, Europe's first Oceanarium, and Morecambe Pleasure Park, home to the largest Ferris wheel in Europe.
Around the same time, the Superdome, a vast live music and entertainment venue, opened next to the leisure park. In its early years, it hosted heats for the Miss Great Britain contest and was the destination for Radio One Roadshow music events.
In the late 1980s, Morecambe Leisure Park expanded with the addition of an indoor pool and was renamed Bubbles. It attracted a new generation of fans with its water slides and cannons.
Following the closure of the Central Pier due to structural concerns, the Superdome became the new venue for the Morecambe Music Festival. In its later years, the Dome (as it had been renamed) hosted big music acts including Blur and the Arctic Monkeys.
However, as Morecambe struggled to attract crowds towards the end of the 20th century, the complex faced financial difficulties. Bubbles closed at the turn of the new century and was demolished in 2001. The Dome survived a few more years, closing in 2008 before being demolished.

We want bubbles in our sparkling drink but not this much. I used a glass straw and some of my grandson's bubble liquid, I sensibly retired to the kitchen to take the photo. It was going to get messy.

not so cold today, so they didn't freeze, but the colours were more vivid than ever and I loved the way the trees reflections
When it rains here we get bubbles in our drive way, I caught this… if you zoom in there is a tree reflection 😊

"There's that bubble of childhood that makes you innocently do anything. Then, when you get older, that pops, and you're aware of limitations and judgment and social pressures and things like that." -- Pete Docter
We should take a cue from our children that we should play more, experiment and explore just for the sake of it. Not all experiments will be successful but playing is essential. When was the last time you played like you were in a bubble?
"can anybody fly this thing?
before my head explodes,
or my head starts to ring.
we've been living life
inside a bubble
we've been living life
inside a bubble...."

This little cutie is one of five adventurous ducklings recently born to an injured duck in Bushy Park pond. Mum had a hard job keeping track of them as they skittered around exploring their dangerous new world.
Update: When I arrived at Bushy Park this morning I saw a heron swooping over the pond with what looked like a duckling in its beak, but when I put the photos onto my computer and blew them up I saw it was a fish. Mother duck's protection attacks on the bigger bird have been successful up to now.
Since the temps had been in the single digits the past couple of nights I thought I would try doing frozen bubbles but I might have been the only thing that got frozen! Still..... it's a nice round shape, didn't collapse in on itself (which is what many of the first ones did) and you Can see some frosty things coming about two thirds of the way up it. You can also see Old Rag Mountain in the reflections so that is cool. Not as pretty and lacy as I would like, but I tried! LOL

These lanterns used to process around the Octagon in the centre of our city as part of mid-winter festivals. This year they wisely had it indoors as it rained very hard that night. The entertainer on left was blowing bubbles for the children / photographers.
Hello my amazing Flickr friends !
Today is an orange day at Color my world Daily and we celebrate bubble wrap at Crazy Tuesday ! Life couldn’t get more awesome than that !
I dont think that I ever took a picture of bubble wrap… At least I don’t remember taking a picture of bubble wrap. So it might be a first for me.
And then I asked myself what is the most precious thing that should defiantly be protected by bubble wrap ? The answer is : a heart. So here we go: bubble wrap wrapped heart. Love is precious and must be protected !!
Mucho, mucho amor for you my friends !! Have a beautiful day !!!
Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts!! Stay safe and well!! And see you soon on Flickr !

The theme is Bubbles. I made bubbles in a bowl, put the camera (waterproof) in the water face up, and played three lights (red, blue, green) over the top of the bubbles. When I liked the colour and lighting arrangement of my picture, I clicked the remote shutter (phone app) and 'voila'.
