Bubblicious

There were a lot of kids sitting on parents shoulders by the bubble machine at the kite festival. How many kites can you find?

    It looks like the kid is spewing bubbles from his head!

    Hah oh my, you're right! Bubble generating boy. The more I look at it, the more I think I should've square cropped it.

    Thanks for all the comments everyone :)

    Were these bubbles being blown by the man with the bubble machine on the Mall? I tried to take a photo of that too, yours came out much better though. Nice job!

    Yes, that's him! The man with the bubble machine. I felt like a little kid again when I saw all those bubbles!

    For what it's worth, I'm glad you didn't square crop it. The rectangular orientation lends it a certain cinematic air that really works well with it, IMO. It's like something out of a Fellini dream sequence. Great shot!

    your very proud sister sent this one out to a bunch of us today :-).

  27. c00lmarie (53 months ago | reply)

    Thanks! I was wondering where the connection was but I noticed you have photos of Betty's wedding. You must know my sister through Lori.

  28. lounytoon (52 months ago | reply)

    Yes, that's right! I met your sister when we went to Miami. Betty, Lori, and I all went to school together when we were younger.
