Experiment

My grandson saw his dad playing around with the magnifying glass today and thought he would give it a try!

Great capture .... am I seeing things or is that really "working?" Looks like it might ignite. Or not. :)

I remember trying that as a kid! Neat shot :)

[Marilyn Wigen]

Fabulous shot! Is that a flame starting or sun refraction from the magnifying glass?

@karenann Thanks so much! Yes it is really working It had just caught on fire!

@deburahiru Thanks, Deb! He was very successful with it!

@marilyn I appreciate that! It is actually not as easy to capture as i thought it would be because it happens in the blink of an eye! one second nothing the next, poof!

[katy]

@jayberg LOL! It was fun to watch him and his dad both working with it!

@ruthmouch Thanks, so much,Ruth! His dad is almost 44 so there is plenty of time for Matt to still enjoy these pursuits! ;!}
