164/365 Bubbles

What is it about soap bubbles that is so fascinating?

Mom and I were talking about this a couple days ago. She reminded me that she loved filling a sink with soapy water when Chase and I were kids and letting us play (trying to get us to like washing dishes? Didn't work, sorry.).

And we always had a container of bubble solution ready in the garage for the moment when we'd want to take them outside. It seems that bubbles are becoming more and more common in grown-up fun, too -- blowing bubbles at weddings is nearly as common as throwing bird seed.

Maybe it's the way they always come out in perfect orbs. Or the concentration and skill that it takes to blow one that's extra large. I love watching them float away in the breeze. Something about them automatically draws your eye, no matter the circumstance.

Just talking about it makes me want to go outside and blow bubbles!
