Day 15
It is another record breaking beautiful winter day here in Prince George BC, Canada! It was -37c when I got out of my warm toasty bed!
Today's photo challenge is Fire and Ice! I wasn't too clever at creating a photograph in one shot, one picture! As a treat for today, I will be posting 2 photos for you to enjoy!
Fire, in the wood stove is crackling, reminding me of summer evenings when the camp fire is lite, hot dogs roasting, or the delicious taste of s'mores! So, with coffee and knitting in hand, that is where I shall spend some time! Keeping the home fires burning!
Ice, all over Facebook people are posting water experiments. One is by tossing water into the air and it comes down as frozen water droplets like snow.
The other is soap bubbles. Making a solution of water, soap, sugar and blowing bubbles in -30c temperatures. *See recipe below

I did the soap bubbles. You need a partner to help you to blow bubbles. I found trying to do it on my own, keeping camera dry, warm and fingers warm and dry a challenge. So, I adapted my experiment.
As my fire is blazing away, these soap bubbles froze in seconds... telling me to get back inside!

There is something comforting about the glow and warmth of a fire on a chilly day/ evening. It can be on a campsite on a warm summer’s eve or in the home’s hearth, it makes not matter, for the feeling is the same. A sense of security, comfort and peace envelops you while you sit and watch the flames consume the fuel leaving behind glowing embers. You can stare into a fire and get lost in your thoughts as the flames dance and swirl about. When the flames die down the glowing embers seem to take on a live capturing one’s attention. Let the fire’s warm glow clear your vision and thaw your brain from winter’s bite.
