Ephemeral Things

I was reading an article in Hotshoe magazine about the ephemeral in photography. The word ephemeral derives from the Greek word ephemeros "lasting only one day" and can be used to describe a number of disappearing things - things that vanish at variable rates, things that leave traces or clues to what once existed. Anyway, I was at panic stations this morning washing up and clearing the kitchen before bringing my beloved home from her scrapbooking weekend, and, eureka, I saw the ephemeral Fairy Liquid suds in the bowl and took the photograph before they ephemerally disappeared!!
