Above the Clouds by taffy

Above the Clouds

Thank you for your kind comments today supporting my decision to go back on my 365 Diet. I really appreciate your understanding. By posting early in my extras album for a long exposure moving water shot http://365project.org/taffy/the-also-ran-ph/2013-08-20 and then not coming back to 365 til tonite, I actually got a lot done. A few days of this and hopefully I'll be a lot less behind! Tonight I took some photos at sunset on the beach, cattails in silhouette, long exposure of the waves. But in the end, even with some processing, I'm going to post this shot from yesterday evening's bubble blowing with my grandson (same one who helped with the water balloon popping). I like the dreamy feeling and sense of freedom (no doubt because I'm feeling stressed and NOT free at the moment!). And, as an apology to all who were creeped out by my spider and losing sleep, a relaxing shot to view at night (here's especially for you, Joey!).
very cool shot

@jodimuli This is for you!

Captivating shot! Maybe we'll see those wave and sunsets later?

@susale Thanks Susale! I'm guessing you will. I"m starting to have a backlog of shots I really like and figure when things get really tough at work, I'm start drawing on those. But tonight's' really weren't that interesting -- I"m thinking I'll redo them one night this week when there are more clouds in the sky. Without clouds, I don't think the sunsets here are as intriguing.

Is the top circle a bubble too! Catching the light! Wonderful focus on the bottom bubble!

@maggiemae Thanks Maggieemae. Yes, both are bubbles from the little bubble blower bottle. I took this one waiting til they had the sky and clouds in the background. I took a lot more that were out of focus!

This is magical. Beautiful!

This is fun, Taffy - love the bubbles!

I actually felt compassion for that little arachnid.LOL.And as a believer that a little anthropomorphizing never hurt anyone....I am going to say that I see the big bubble as you and the little one as your grandson.The sense of play you experienced yesterday comes through! I love this image.

@lunaksi Thank you so much for viewing so many of my photos! I may have already thanked you so if I did, sorry to make you come by again! I did a few little peeks today during the day and now can't remember exactly who I saw! And I shouldn't have cheated...but it's nice to be relaxing now and looking at photos after a good day of work.
