Washing up bubbles

I love seeing iridescent colours on oily water or soap bubbles. It comes from the surface of the liquid being only a few nanometers thick. The top of a bubble will be thinner than the bottom of it as the liquid moves down with gravity. There are two surfaces, inside and out. When light hits the surface of a bubble it can reflect off the top and bottom of the surface and you get interference patterns… Some reflections enhance the colours and others can cancel each other out… This is what causes iridescent or rainbow colours.

I don’t often photograph my food and this would never be published in a magazine, but it was tasty…this was my tea a few days ago.

I’ve started eating baked sweet potatoes as they have less carbohydrates than normal potatoes. I added a bit of cheese, some baked beans and shredded iceberg lettuce.

It was messy and tasty. Now I’m hungry.

Tulip

Such a pretty flower, even when it fully opens up…. Generally tulips are sold in bud and then gradually open up fully over a few days, although this happens more when they have been cut through their stems, are brought into a warm room, and displayed in a vase.

This is a photo taken by my friend. I’ve only got three pale pink tulips at the front of my house. I tried taking a photo, but my phone keeps switching itself off.. I think its battery is going… Anyway happy Spring to you all.

Holly

Variegated Holly. Taken a few weeks ago. On a bright, sunny day. The blue sky was reflected off the shiny surface of the leaves. I like the way the spiky edges add to the textures. Holly can be male or female. The female plants are the ones that grow the berries.

A formidable hedging plant, it grows slowly but if your not careful it can grow up out of reach. It needs pruning to keep it in shape. And with the sharp pickles it can be painful to trim.

What?

I put a random word in the photo search here “warch” and this came up.. What is it? Some form of lights?

Random thoughts are… A train level crossing warning light? Basically because of the cross behind the lights… But where does “warch” come in….

I was actually looking for Watch, but misspelt it so I just decided to make this a bit of an odd post. I can’t think of something to write about, the world is not a good place at the moment. Sorry to be boring, just losing the plot slightly.

Button bowl

Posted on Posted in Memories, UncategorizedTagged , , , , , , , , , 3 Comments

My friend made this 8 years ago. The buttons were placed in a bowl and glued in place with PVA adhesive. It’s clear plastic spaces have now turned white over time. A few buttons broke off the edge of it but it’s still substantially the same.

It’s in the bathroom near the window but it’s managed to last all these years. I wonder how much longer it will be around, I might give it to another friend to use as a source of buttons if it starts to deteriorate. Only time will tell.
