Thank you so much to everyone for commenting on this image! I would like to thank you all personally but don’t have quite enough time ;) 2351 views, 187 favourites as of April 2, 2012. I found the title “Ephemeral” fitting in many ways. Conditions had to be almost perfect to get this shot of a soap bubble resting delicately on ornamental grass. The absence of wind, pleasant lighting, a complimentary background and split second timing all played an important role. All these conditions were almost as short-lived as the subject…

Spending time in the outdoors has always been a passion of mine. Most of my subject matter is avian but I will readily spend hours photographing almost anything else in the natural world. Currently I live near a small town, Rockland, just east of Ottawa. I work in Ottawa and so most of my photography is done in eastern Ontario. Thank you for dropping by and enjoy.

What a magical capture. The reflection is incredible!
Wow! This is truly amazing! The fact that the bubble didnt break, and didn’t fall off, and that you and your camera were ready at the exact moment is incredible! Superb! A fave for sure!
Excellent in all respects!
The reflection puts this one over the top!
Wonderful Image Bill!
This is great Bill. A shot in a million I’d say. It’s a fav for me Mate. I’m trying to work out what I can see in the bubble?
Awesome!
Great shot with perfect focus
