When Washington-based photographer Angela Kelly saw that the local temperatures were dropping to just 14 degrees last week, she had an idea. She grabbed her camera, her seven-year-old son, and a bunch of soapy water, and went outside to blow bubbles. What happened next was amazing. The smaller bubbles would freeze mid-air and then shatter to the ground. The larger bubbles froze more slowly, allowing Kelly to capture a bunch of incredible shots.
“We noted how they would freeze completely before the sun rose but that once the sun was in view they would defrost along the tops or cease freezing altogether,” Kelly told KOMO News. “We also noted how they would begin to deflate and implode in on themselves making them look like alien shapes or in some cases shatter completely leaving them to look like a cracked egg.”
