A better bubble post

July 29, 2009

{post publishing note: if you're coming over from Me Ra Koh's blog - Welcome! And thanks for visiting.}

I bought a bottle of manufactured (ie: we didn't make it ourselves) bubble mix the other day at the grocery store. Sure enough these bubbles are definitely better than the homemade mix I posted the other day (though I think using Joy dish soap would of helped).

But it's not the quality of the bubbles that make this a better bubble post. It's the sun!!

The sun is finally shining and has been for a few days now, interspersed with rain showers & thunderstorms. The sun inspires me in so many ways and I think it just might be my photographic muse, or one of them. When I'm able to catch the light, just so, I feel happy. Really happy. Like a little kid discovering a treasure at the beach, or a bubble floating in the air...

In the these photos I don't much notice the bubbles. I see the sunlight shining through Dolly's scraggly curls, Celine's ever lengthening ponytails and the sleeve of Brienne's new favorite dress. (Dolly is Brienne's nickname).

I see my girls and the late afternoon sun shining on all their childhood beauty, innocence and wonder.
