Out of the Ordinary

Month: August 2013

  • Bubbles ….. in the fog! Radiantly so.

    IMG_0264We've had rain after several many weeks of dry, sunny  weather (unusual for Victoria; it got to the point where we began to take it for granted and it was not the first topic of conversation; I think we  feel more comfortable now   ((the gardens certainly do)) that weather is back to 'normal' ….  I digress) and the rain brought out the scents of baked pavement and dried earth.  And the fragrance of the sea.  And fog.

    The morning bubbles did a slow dance as if climbing up fogdrops.

    The bubbles clung to the runner beans.  Those flowers look like they have made a sculpture with three of the bubbles!

    Most astonishing was how long the bubbles remained intact.  Not seconds.  Minutes!  Many minutes.

    Perhaps they were in their element.

    I was once inside a bubble  (click on the underlined to link to that post).

    Perhaps the bubbles this morning were 'inside a bubble' with temperature and humidity that suited them so they could  'hang out' for a longer period of time.
