The boys wanted me to try the red sparkling grape juice last night, and I did.  But I also tried some Dawn Dish Detergent soap bubbles.  This was the result.  I've cropped the picture, fixed a few distracting dots, and added the red tint at the top for extra interest.  The gold color is naturally coming off my kitchen stove top halogen light.  We had fun again:-)  And, they got to drink some grape juice.

Here's a link to more of the pics from last night including a set-up shot.  That's the vase but it has marbles and grape juice in it.  Earlier it has just the soap.  That vase having flats sides makes for great pictures vs. a round vase.

Snowflakes were in our forecast, but all I see is wet leaves out there.  Please one of you that's having snowstorm after snowstorm send 6-12 inches our way.  Thanks!

I very much wanted to post two daily pictures today but did not.  The other is on a radically different theme.  If you have time to look, it's in my Inspirations gallery here:

Here is another in the glass bead series.  This is a closeup of the beads in a wine glass with club soda adding the bubbles.  To answer Karina question yes this is the 105VR macro lens.  To further the 'mad scientist" approach as per fotomom, Maryann I do have a setup to share as Dan (patdanart) requested. :)

I’m really hooked on shooting fruit.  I hope you’re not getting bored with it because I have several more to shoot and then it’s on to produce, HaHa!  It’s going to be a long winter.  I used a little different filter to process this one.  When I applied the watercolor filter, it lost too much of the detail and I loved the detail in the peaches.  I almost didn’t apply any filter because I loved the photo.  
It’s FRIDAY!  I’m going to get out tomorrow morning and shoot some of the beautiful snow that came through here yesterday. Hope everyone has a great weekend!

This one is for you, dave. We always enjoyed your shroom and fungi shots, so when Patti was focusing in on these fan-like fungi,  I was thinking right then and there that this is the kind of shot that ded might enjoy.
SmugMug > popular today > It's nice now that P.A. Larry is retired and we can stay out after dark.  I felt like John out there with the snow falling, bracing myself against a tree to keep the camera steady.  :-)

Nothing spectacular, but it was fun to try a few shots.  And I think I'll be doing this again soon.    (January 7, 2010)

was our street to the North.  This one Is our street to the South.

We got a fair amount of snow yesterday then it stopped for a while.  It started up again and they say it will snow until noon today.  But hey, it's winter.  We get one every year :-)

This is what we look like around 7:45 AM -

SmugMug > popular today > 01-08-2010:  Never could tell a joke!!

I need a do-over.. 8 is NOT afraid of 7, after all... 6 is... the joke is why is 6 afraid of 7??? because 7 ate (8) 9!!! hahaha.. don't forget to laugh!  I have to thank Sundays for helping me out on that one... 

So, I'm taking advantage of a recent ebay purchase... Flinch cards.. never played the game.. never heard of it.. just loved the way the cards are designed.. this box is from 1913.. part of the lid has been sewn together.. which is a BONUS for me.. makes it so much cooler..

speaking of cooler... 30's today here for us!

the most sinful thing i ate for lunch yesterday was (were) two cookies... i know, boo!! could have done better...

chin up y'all it's the dreaded friday again.. the worst day of the week.. try your best to make it through the day.. ;)
