Bubbles rise and they break
On the surface of the flowing lake
Bubbles of wild, bubbles of fate
Bubbles of joy, bubbles of hate
Bubbles of love, of belief
Bubbles, bubbles rise from beneath
Ascending from the darkest depth
Until they take their final breath
On the lake, under blue skies
Where their dream explodes and suddenly dies
Blown by the wind from a massive star, this interstellar apparition has a surprisingly familiar shape. Cataloged as NGC 7635, it is also known simply as The Bubble Nebula. Although it looks delicate, the 10 light-year diameter bubble offers evidence of violent processes at work.
Bubble's center is a hot, O star, several hundred thousand times more luminous and around 45 times more massive than the Sun. A fierce stellar wind and intense radiation from that star has blasted out the structure of glowing gas against denser material in a surrounding molecular cloud. The intriguing Bubble Nebula and associated cloud complex lie a mere 11,000 light-years away toward the boastful constellation Cassiopeia. This tantalizing view of the cosmic bubble is composed from narrowband image data, recording emission from the region's ionized hydrogen and oxygen atoms.

Bubble shooter, camera aimed
Beauty found, wildness tamed
Leaf is caught in all its glory

Bubble shooter, aim and fire
Captured with a wild desire
In the water. it's wildness tamed
Camera fired, leaf is framed
The daughter of the couple blowing some bubbles. I used the 17-40 for this and it actually got bubble stuff all over it but it was worth it to get this picture... i think atleast.

While taking bubble pictures for a "Circle Squared" photo, this was one of the bubbles, what a surprise when I saw this looking at me !!
Happy Macro Monday !!
I've finally got both my new macro extension tubes from Santa (OK Amazon). So time to hide in the kitchen and take photos of odd things. Tonight's experiment was bubbles (my wife really won't understand this!)
All my kitchen project photos are in this album:-

2nd January 2011
You have no idea how good my intentions were when I got out of bed this morning.
I knew I had to work for a couple of hours around 10am, but then I figured that gave me the day ahead to get out there and capture a work of art that the Royal Photographic Society would be proud of. (Ok, so I like to dream a little, but you’ve got to aim high right?)
What I didn’t count on was the weather. Yeah yeah I know, lame excuse, the weather can be a photographers friend ‘n’ all that, but today can only be described as grey. Not a glimpse of sunshine to allow me to capture the new years smile on peoples faces. Not a drop of rain to form puddles to allow me to capture reflections. No fog to form an eerie mist over the roof tops. No black scary looking storm clouds forming menacingly overhead. Getting the picture? It was just grey.
So having wandered around aimlessly for a while, I came back home and took up residence on my much loved sofa whilst I took stock of my situation and tried to come up with a Plan B, with a little help from a Gin & Tonic. (Slimline tonic of course, as per one of my many resolutions for 2011!)
I was having a fiddle with my camera and accidently fired the shutter whilst putting it down on the table. When I checked the view finder I saw that it had caught part of my glass and that the light had clung to the fizzy bubbles of the tonic.
Quickly, I grabbed my trusty 105mm lens, moved in close to the bottle of tonic, and hey presto, here’s the result. Who says inspiration can’t be found at the bottom of a glass!
Thanks for visiting! Most photos are of Mei, my wife and muse.

Help, I have done it again
I have been here many times before
Hurt myself again today
And, the worst part is there's no-one else to blame
Be my friend
Hold me, wrap me up
Unfold me, I am small
I'm needy, Warm me up
And breathe me
As I have previously mentioned, I am wanting to do a photo each week to represent a song title of one of my favourite singers, Sia. This song is called 'Breathe me' and is actually a very sad song. I'm hoping to challenge myself with the next photo I choose to do because I don't think this one is all that inspiring.
Oh my, I just found out this made it to Expolre. My first one! It's made my day!
It was my birthday on Sunday... the big three zero. We had a lovely day out, Stewart cooked me scrambled eggs on toast with smoked salmon for brekkie and then we went to see the Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition followed by a late lunch at Boxwood Cafe. We were supposed to finish it all off with a supper of cheese and crackers with a bottle of one of the lovely French champagnes we got in Champagne last year but we were still too full! Instead we had the cheese and bubbles last night... we had a picnic on the living room floor, picnic blanket and everything.
I've managed to drag my birthday out quite well actually... had my party last Saturday, actual birthday this Sunday and an extra birthday dinner and bubbles on Monday :-) What a lucky girl!
Mozzy is very afraid of the bubbles. He knows they live in a little bottle and sometimes they break free. He always runs for the door to go inside when he sees them.
