A bubble creature rips itself from the tri-string in hot pursuit of a bubble!

 

I believe this is the most unusual bubble I have made to date, and it is definitely the most unusual one captured on film. My son snapped a few photos while I was bubbling for three of my grandsons, who were visiting from out of state (his camera's date/time stamp was off). This particular dip was the only time where anything even remotely like this has occurred. Weather conditions are usually less than favorable here; on this day, it was probably in the high 80's to low 90's. The humidity was likely increasing due to approaching scattered afternoon thunderstorms, and the wind was beginning to pick up. I was using a fresh batch of Edward's basic guar mix; the tri-string had a 100" 4 ply finish top string and a single ply bottom.

The photo above was cropped, and my neighbor's address removed because several people have asked for a copy. The first six photos in the slideshow were taken over a 3-4 second period, and show how the bubble began to form. The last two photos show the first bubble from the next dip, less than one minute latter.
