I'd love to give it to you. Seems to just appear now and again.
I think I'd rather have a Photo Accelerator than a Photo Block..lol

Maybe, Pat. This early 1946 photo shows strollers ... (show quote)
The Quality looks good to me Richard especially for a shot taken in 1946..

I like what you captured Pat! And the rework is great too!
When you get photo block and shutter withdrawal...have a sip or two of wine and see how the imagination works! ;-) Just kidding... I think! I get those feelings too and then after a bit I see something someone has posted and away I go!
What "formula" do you use for the bubbles? Found these instructions and I think I will try it out! This week will be perfect for it! :-)
"Before you run out to buy materials, check the outdoor temperature: Because soap is a great insulator, this trick will only work if it’s colder than -13 degrees Fahrenheit (-25 degrees Celsius). We weren’t kidding when we said “very cold”!
Stats:
Tools + Materials:
Bowl and spoon
200 milliliters warm water (for freezing)
35 ml corn syrup (for thickness)
35 ml dish soap (for bubble formation)
2 tablespoons sugar (for crystallization)
1 plastic straw
Instructions:
Mix liquids and sugar in a small bowl, and store in the freezer. Lowering the mixture’s temperature will help your bubbles freeze faster when they land. After 30 minutes, take the bowl out and give its contents another stir.
Find a cold, textured surface to stick your bubbles. Ready, aim, and fire! Blowing bubbles with a straw rather than a store-bought dipstick will create less sticky, frozen mess.
If you really want to go for it, you can rig the straw to a squeezable bottle (see Ratzlaff's version above). The breath you exhale will be much warmer than the ambient air inside the bottle. So this method can help keep your bubble mix cold as it floats to its final resting place.
Be patient! “Even with the perfect formula, many bubbles will pop before you’ll have one that freezes for you,” says Ratzlaff. “The slightest breeze can pop them.”

I'm suffering from photo block and shutter withdrawal...not sure how one can have both. It's so cold it's frozen bubble time here - couldn't even catch any of them - too windy. Got this one instead. Almost dumped it and then thought "Never took a shot like that before!" Hard to manage bubble wand with one hand and camera with the other. And I reworked one I posted a few pages back.
