Macro Monday's and the theme of "Soap".
I had a bar of soap by "Pears" already new in the bathroom so decided to use this for the theme.
I also wanted to get a few bubbles going and used the soap prior to taking the photo to get a lather all over my hands and then drop bubbles back onto the soap. This one didn't get as many bubbles as some other exposures but I liked the big bubble in the centre. Around three seconds after the exposure ended the bubble burst and was no more.

Soap is a salt of a fatty acid used in a variety of cleansing and lubricating products. Soap is created by mixing fats and oils with a base, as opposed to detergent which is created by combining chemical compounds in a mixer.
Humans have used soap for millennia. Evidence exists of the production of soap-like materials in around 2800 BC in ancient Babylon. The earliest recorded evidence of the production of soap-like materials dates back to around 2800 BC in ancient Babylon. A formula for soap consisting of water, alkali, and cassia oil was written on a Babylonian clay tablet around 2200 BC.
Before wet shaving, the area to be shaved is usually doused in warm to hot water by showering or bathing or covered for several minutes with a hot wet towel to soften the skin and hair. A lathering or lubricating agent such as cream, shaving soap, gel, foam or oil is normally applied after this. Lubricating and moisturizing the skin to be shaved helps prevent irritation and damage known as razor burn. It also lifts and softens the hairs, causing them to swell. This enhances the cutting action and sometimes permits cutting the hairs slightly below the surface of the skin. Additionally, during shaving, the lather indicates areas that have not been addressed.
Before the advent of razors, hair was sometimes removed using two shells to pull the hair out or using water and a sharp tool. Around 3000 BC when copper tools were developed, copper razors were invented. The idea of an aesthetic approach to personal hygiene may have begun at this time, though Egyptian priests may have practiced something similar to this earlier. Alexander the Great strongly promoted shaving during his reign in the 4th century BC because he believed it looked tidier. In some Native American tribes, at the time of contact with British colonists, it was customary for men and women to remove all body hair. Source Wikipedia.

Smile on Saturday theme: Soap on Black Background
French milled bath soap
My husband found these giant Q-tips along with several more sizes and brought them home for me to use.... not sure what for until this soap theme came along.
Thank you everyone for your kind comments and favs. All are greatly appreciated. HSoS
flowers open in late afternoon & evening then close by morning. Native people used this plant for washing hair and as soap as well as eating the root bulbs and it also was used for medical purposes. This wildflower is in the agave family and found in California.
Soap is to the body what laughter is to the soul.

The mini bar of soap with the word MOM (gift from my daughter) measures 3 cm, and belongs to a set of mini soaps and soap bombs, including some scented soap candles to decorate the bathroom, which are camouflaged in the photo. Roses are made of paper.
The photo measures a total of 7.5 cm wide by 4.5 cm high.
Thanks for visiting my gallery and for the likes. Happy week. HMM.
Es tan difícil envejecer sin una causa,
no quiero desvanecerme como el gas,
la juventud es como los diamantes bajo el sol,
y los diamantes son para siempre.
Quiero ser joven por y para siempre ....
It's so hard to grow old without a cause
I don't want to fade like gas
youth is like diamonds in the sun,
and diamonds are forever.
I want to be young forever and ever ...
C'est si dur de vieillir sans cause
Je ne veux pas me faner comme du gaz
la jeunesse est comme des diamants au soleil,
et les diamants sont éternels.
Je veux être jeune pour toujours et à jamais ...
È così difficile invecchiare senza una causa
Non voglio svanire come il gas
la giovinezza è come diamanti al sole,
e i diamanti sono per sempre.
Voglio essere giovane per sempre e per sempre ...

Not my usual soap, but it used to be when I was a kid, although I seemed to remember the bars were bigger and more transparent. Anyways, I had to buy a pack of 4 bars, so guess this will be my usual soap for the next few months :)
The theme for Macro Mondays is Bubbles, so I washed my hands with lots of soap and took a picture of my hand.
HMM!
One of many soapy shots for Macro Mondays. I chose a different one for the group but this one was a close second ...
Another attempt at photographing a freezing soap bubble. Killing time before the Super Bowl. Near zero today so conditions were good for this kind of thing. The plant is ice covered but I have no idea what type of plant it is. It took a couple of tries but the soap bubble stuck finally without breaking. The blue color cast was achieved by using a color balance around 2700.
For Macro Mondays "Soap" theme.

Late in the season, late in the day. Last day that the campground was open, the evening of the blood moon. It was quiet and ever so peaceful.

Many thanks to all who take the time to view, comment and favoring my images. Enjoy the day.
Soap bubbles, whether they’re frozen or not are pretty amazing at interacting with light. The swirls and colors are constantly moving and changing. Two frames taken of the same bubble seconds apart will look nothing like each other.
