I literally giggled with glee when I found this gem on my card today. I thought for sure I had failed at this attempt to capture a frozen bubble. I cannot even count how many people challenged me to do this after seeing this post. A mom and her son made beautiful portraits of frozen bubbles together. I thought “Okay, sure I’ll try that since it is going to be 6 degrees on Monday morning”. Hmmm, a lot harder than it looks. While holding a bubble on a bubble wand with my left hand (after 30 others had popped) I tried to focus my camera and the heavy 100 macro lens with my right. It was cold, I was frustrated, and I had only slept about 3 hours the night before caring for my horses in the barn. I gave up after a few minutes, made some hot tea and posted on Facebook that I had failed.
I laughed when I saw the photo, but not because I thought I had dumb luck. I laughed because of the goodness of God. The joy literally “bubbled” out of me. He is so faithful. He promised to meet me every day, and he does even when I fail. Especially when I fail!
The patterns and colors are exquisite. That is the mark of my creator. Everything he does is perfect and beautiful. I am in awe of him tonight.
James 1:17 ~”Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.”
Unbelievabubble.
But really.
It is amazing.
THAT… is incredible. I will have numb fingers soon trying this.
These turned out fantastic!!
These pictures are stunning! Almost like a snow globe…. but made by God! I love that you were even able to capture the intricacies of the ice formations. I have no clue how you held that bubble and a heavy macro lens at the same time and had enough steadiness in your hand to capture such beauty, but God always provides – and surprises! Spectacular!
(PS. The lady in your new header/logo is too fat if that’s supposed to be you. Or maybe just not proportioned correctly. You’re nowhere near that big! 🙂 )
OMGOODNESS exquisite. You are the challenge conqueror. Thanks for the gift of another of His fingerprints.
Incredible! Absolutely beautiful! What a way to capture God’s creativity and His faithfulness! Beautiful!
I just knew you would make something beautiful out of this. Of course, God helped a little. lol He’s given you such a gift. Rest in that for a while.
The ice looks like feathers. Beautiiful
