    Default Bubble blowing

    Took this photo of a blowfly (not quite a bluebottle, but closely related) on our back fence, doing what they do well (if you watch them enough), ie regurgitating the contents of their gut into a bubble, and then sucking it back in to aid digestion.
    This WAS originally a clear brown-coloured bubble (maybe I'll upload the original one day), but thought it would look nicer as a bubble-gum bubble.
    So I edited it in elements!

    Imagine him blowing a big bubble and it popping just as a gust of wind came and blew the gum all over his eyes
