These were the pictures I was planning to post for last week’s Sky Watch, but that incredible sunset pushed them out. Since I am traveling when this will post, I will not have options to change it.
Chic and Chicklet got some bubble machine-things from Prince Charming after he went to his class reunion. I was outside taking pictures of them having fun. Though I really am not a scrapbooker, I often take pictures like one, and thought it would be fun to get some actual bubble pictures for the scrapbook layout that I will do when they have grandchildren.
Once that started, I totally forgot about scrapbooking and thought how terrific the bubbles looked for a SkyWatch post! The first is my favorite (it’s actually Prince Charming’s favorite, not mine, but I’ll save my favorite for another day), but the pictures go in reverse chronological order. I somehow could not leave out the pictures leading up to the actual one I chose for SkyWatch.
To see more terrific sky pictures, head to the SkyWatch blog hosted by Tom, Sandy and Imac and designed by Klaus. You will not be sorry you did!

Whenever my wife gets really stressed, she goes out and blows bubbles. Always keeps them in the car for when she is stuck in rush hour traffic. Much better stress releiver than medication and pills.

Those bubbles look really good against the sky. What other better things there is to do in the summer than blowing bubbles?
August 1, 2008 at 2:41 pm
It’s so nice! First I wondered how you had managed to get those bubbles on the photo. But then I scrolled down and noticed the children!
Nice idea!

I LOVE it!! I have tried to catch bubbles but my grandson doesn’t blow very well yet, I guess I need a bubble machine. 🙂

WOW! Bubble pictures…what a fantastic idea. Hmmm. Wish I’d thought of that. (Well, I still can. can’t I?)
August 3, 2008 at 4:49 pm
Ah, to be able to float on a bubble up into that beautiful blue sky would be so magical! To be above the world and to see it as a bird’s view would be so delightful.
This photo is so peaceful. You have done a wonderful job of capturing the essence of the sky and the innocence of the children.
Beautiful!
Thank you so much for your very nice comments on my photos and I am happy to hear that my photos of the Canadian Rockies please you.
