The cure

Are you depressed ? Down in the dumps ? Can't afford brand name Prozac ? Well my suggestion to you is take $20.00 and invest in some bubble therapy ! This is a time wasting , mindless activity that just lifts the spirits. I think this should be a mandatory activity for anyone who looks at things with a 'glass half empty' mentality,or feeling a bit down. Like someone once said 'it does not matter if you are a glass half empty or a glass half full person the bottom line is either way there is room for more wine"

Enjoy

Look at the concentration ! I am sure this will be an Olympic event in 2016
#1


I have socks and sandals on and am still happy
#2


It's fun for the whole family - even the label on the wand suggests ages 6-94
#3


#4


Now tell me you were not at least smiling a little bit over these next few
#5


#6


#7


Conditions were optimal for bubble creation , no breeze a rare occurrence here , could have been the biggest bubble of the evening

See, you can become a kid again! I have a stunt for you to try. Drop the wand over your body so you are in the bubble. You can even shoot an image from inside of it. (This will require some help from your assistant)

Have your neighbors called the men in white coats yet? Hahahahahahahaha!

Sounds like my photography!!!

Really fun pics. You look like a magician with these huge bubbles. #5 in particular is a wonderful, wonderful shot... but they are all good.

Thanks Jim - my Daughter just recently joined the corporate world and still lives @ home (for a few more weeks). The commute is pretty long so she appreciated the levity mom and I were had in the backyard and joined right in

Thanks Bob we are pretty close - but will be empty nesters in a matter of weeks .... but the kids live close by so it's a small adjustment (unlike me when I left home it was 3000 miles away).

I love to see people having fun! That looks like great fun! Everyone needs to have some fun...but too few actually do it.
I feed Squirrels.....and babysit Squirrels...and counsel Squirrels...and am counseled by Squirrels....great fun too! This evening we had "defend against hawk" drills....and a real live hawk showed up. Watching brave "Army Squirrels" scurry for cover was hilarious!

Best Regards!

Thanks Rupert I agree you just gotta let go once in awhile and hawk drills sound like just the ticket
