Sometimes I get so involved in editing pictures that I forget I have other stuff going on at the same time. You know, laundry, dinner, a boiling pan on the stove, water running in my planter... I am a woman and I can do it all... I just get so, I don't know, focused sometimes. After feeding my hungry Labs in the morning, I noticed my hummingbird feeder was empty so off I went to make some more food for those hungry little guys. While the sugar water was boiling, back I went to edit my portraits.
IF you are going to boil sugar water and IF you are going to forget and IF you let it get to the point of toxic fumes filling your house and IF you get to the stove before the whole thing catches fire and IF you can bring the whole stewing toxic volcano outside and IF you can race around opening every door and window and turning on every fan... you might just notice while racing for one more sliding door that, wow, the morning light is streaming in through all the smoke and IF you can still breathe you can grab your camera and catch this through the spokes of your sons bike:
Or this as you rush back into the kitchen to open one more window (I have my priorities straight, don't I!)
Here is the offending pot.It looks like a lump of coal or lava, doesn't it? It is a hard shell of burnt sugar, in case anyone was wondering what that would look like! But judging by the photos above beauty is everywhere, even in toxic swirls!
Cool pictures and yes, it is interesting to see and know what the burnt sugar looks like. This is proof that photography runs through your blood!
