Bouquet of Bubbles

A friend and I were looking for something to do. It was not a good beach day, so we went to find some cheap fun. It was off to the Dollar Store to find some distraction. After and exhaustive search and a restricted budget we came out with two trays for making bubbles and about a half-gallon of bubble solution!

It was one of the days Abba told me to take my camera. That makes me happy. I had already taken shots at a drawbridge, but they did not “speak” to me, even though the action was fun.

Eventually, we found a prime place to begin our bubble adventure. I made a few bubbles, but quickly decided taking photos of bubbles was much more fun. My most able assistant became a “master bubble maker” with the help of God’s gentle breeze.DSC_0610

When I look these over I see the variations, colors, refractions, and reflections. It is amazing to see God’s creation. Yes, we were making the bubbles, but Abba is the chemist if you will, that makes it work.

Some of these remind me of the definition of multifaceted that touches on the bugs eyes, like flies and dragon flies. What seems like a bazillion eyes all working together.

I took HUNDREDS of Bubble shots that day. These are, obviously, just a few.

I hope you enjoy the view. Though I may not have stopped to smell the roses, I sure enjoyed capturing and studying the bubbles! I hope yo do too!

How do you find beauty? When do you slow down enough to notice what is outside you door? What have you found? Please share!

About the author

Andrea Van Boven (Madden): I like to think I am a radical lover of Jesus, but I live in a house and pay bills and look like I fit in with respectable society, like most people. What goes on in my head and heart are hopefully the things that betray the look of "normal" that comes at first glance. I hope those things inside of me seep out to actions as well as words of hope and encouragement. I pray that these in turn will lead others to know the loving Creator who knows us so intimately that he has a number for every hair on every head.

  1. Best Bubbles!. Early in the morning I watch the leaves out my sun porch windows. They are so close that I almost could touch then. The dew dripping from up higher on another leaf drops below and that tips and the drop goes to another below. The sunrise shines on them all and you can see God’s light shining on them to begin another day.
    Your bubbles are/were the best art ones I ever have seen! Good Work!!! LM

    1. Thanks! I love the dew drop image. Yes God blesses us with His beauty in SO many ways every day!
