A lovely shot , It could be an advert for a summer's citrus drink Babs ! -- so refreshing with the zingy colours and the bubbly fizziness of the fruit -- makes me quite thirsty ! fav
@derekvickers@happypat@thistle Thanks so much. I can't believe the response to this photo and thanks for getting it on the PP.
If you check out my photo today you will see that I have set you a challenge. I was challenged by Lee to post a landscape photo for the next three days and as part of the challenge it is to challenge three other 365ers to do the same. I have chosen you because you do beautiful landscape shots. Hope you don't mind.
Here is the info you need.
I have been challenged by my 365 friend, Lee @gamelee to post landscapes for the next three days and to challenge three other 365ers to do the same. I am now challenging Pat @happypat, Joyce @thistle, and Derek @derekvickers. Hope you will take part. The landscape may be a photo in your files and does not have to be a new one. Just tag it feb15landscapechallenge
@newbank Thanks Ruth. Not a chance though. I hate ironing so I have to watch programmes which I have recorded on TV at the same time as ironing so as to lessen the pain of the task in hand. ha ha.

Thanks everyone for your comments and favs and for getting this photo on the PP.
It was quite a challenge to do, as I only wanted the fruit and the bubbles showing with just a black background, so I put soda water in a rectangular shaped vase and had a piece of black card behind it. I then skewered the fruit with kebab skewers to keep them in place and put them in the soda water which made the bubbles. You have to be quick because it doesn't take long for the fizz to disappear. I had a couple of goes at it, hence the reason for the sticky fingers, ha ha. If you try this keep a damp cloth handy otherwise you stick to your camera.
I Photoshopped out the skewers afterwards.
@tillystartedit Thanks Katie, it isn't difficult to do, just a bit messy. I have written above how I did it. All you need is a flat vase, soda water, fruit, black card and a camera and tripod. Give it a go.
@lesip Yes Leslie they are in a rectangular vase but anything with a flat edge will do. Here is the reply I posted earlier.
