Friday Photo Fun: Something Blue

Friday Photo Fun is when I share a randomly captured moment,
or perhaps a photo experiment with more purposeful intent,
then pair it with a rhyming riddle to exercise your mind
and teach you more weird facts to which you once were blind.


This machine's predecessor, the Merry-Go-Round,
is nothing like the ride where children are found,
although children do generally enjoy this machine
and think seeing inside it is pretty darn keen.

So where did I go to shoot this something blue?
I would love to hear some guesses from you!

  4. Hi, Rachel! ~

    I'm completely stumped, but if it has to do with spit or other bodily fluids I'm going to be totally grossed out -- haha!

    my moment is less of a mystery:

    1. That is it!!! And yes, through the windsheild. I took others through the side windows, but this one was the windshield. Good job!! This was the rinse cycle spinning the blue spongy fringe across my windshield while spraying soap a bit. :)
