Day 98/365 Density

After trying syrup a few days go (click here to see that post) I decided to add the oil mixture and light corn syrup and see if there would be layers. SO, there is vegetable oil, olive oil, generic pancake syrup and light corn syrup. I found that the light corn syrup was a little lighter than the pancake syrup and started to bubble up toward the oil mixture. Play around with what you have in your house and see what you can come up with. If you try something, please come back and comment on this page and let me know what you tried and how it worked out. I'm always up for something new to try!

Day 97/365 Water and Oil...don't mix

I saw a peer try this so I thought I'd try it myself (top view, pic 1) - then I took another angle from the side view just to be different.

Day 96/365 Syrup?

My daughter did a science experiment with liquids last year, so we recreated it here at home for the liquid theme. Mixing water with syrup. They don't mix. The syrup sinks immediately to the bottom.

Day 95/365 Fizz

This liquid theme has been pretty fun. My daughter helped me on this one so I could be ready for the moment when the two substances combined to form this fizzy affect. The ingredients? White vinegar and baking soda with a touch of green food coloring.

Day 94/365 Water drops

After many failed attempts at capturing a droplet of water, I finally figured out the timing and came up with a couple that I really liked.

Day 93/365 New Theme - Liquid

I must say, it took me a little while and a test of my patience to finally figure out how to get drops of water in focus. SO, while I was taking a few deep breaths between tries, I took this instead.

Day 92/365 Remembrance Photography

Today and the rest of February begins a month of giving to a wonderful non-profit organization called Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep (www.nowilaymedowntosleep.org). Many photographers like myself donate our time to take remembrance photos for families that have lost their baby at birth or shortly after birth. I have entered a few photos in their fundraising opportunity at www.charitymodelsearch.org. Each vote is $1 and there is a minimum of $5 votes to checkout. Please consider supporting this organization as it benefits many families through their grieving process.
