Nothing Simpler Than The Joy of Bubbles

February 8, 2011 · 45 comments

in Mommyhood

Sunday — during a brief respite from frigid temperatures — the kidlets and I enjoyed the warm, sunny day with something to remind us of Springtime: bubbles.

What is it about these airy, iridescent globes that takes a child from glum observer (who was a bit sickly, I might add) to a child thrilled with each popping sensation on his nose, his hair, his cheeks . . .

Not only are these sprightly things simply “good, clean fun,” bubbles (according to the Little Lady) are good eats.

I’ll take her word for it.

Your son is darling, sick or not! The bubbles do create a little magic in those photos and I’m not too sure they taste all that good.

Rachel February 9, 2011 at 2:17 pm: I know — it’s funny b/c they didn’t really look like that “live.” They where very colorful bubbles, but didn’t have that pinwheel look. I think that was caused (in part) by the camera “freezing” the bubbles, which were spinning around and around thanks to the breeze. It’s also just the way my camera caught the reflection of the iridescent colors.

(I have to admit, I was pretty impressed with myself when I started going through the pics! lol)

Those are great shots! Those are AMAZING! I actually thought at first you added sparkles to photos…I’m so impressed, beautiful!

Rachel February 9, 2011 at 2:15 pm: LOL, you’re not the first to think I doctored the bubbles with sparkles. Nope, that’s just how my camera caught the iridescent reflection from the overhead lighting. I was shocked when I started going through the pics — I wasn’t sure the bubbles were going to show up in the photos at all.

You need to frame that first picture. Seriously.

Rachel February 10, 2011 at 9:31 am: Aww, thanks! I have to admit, that first pic surprised me when I downloaded — had no idea I had captured all of those bubbles.
