It’s the golden syrup that does it

… apparently.  In a reversal of usual practice, the older person made the bubbles while the young person took the photographs. (Click a thumbnail for the gallery)

There were simple bubbles

… UFO bubbles

… complex bubbles

and huge bubbles.

Even Magritte bubbles.

The camera caught reflections the eye could not see.

And it caught the bursts,

scraps of bubbles,

the moment of puncture,

the unravelling,

the last wrack left behind.

The recipe is one part golden syrup, two parts strong washing up liquid, and six parts water, possibly de-ionised.  I have the photographer’s permission to share the images.
