"The elusive Bubble Man of Allen Street doing his thing. I love walking or riding my bike through a burst of bubbles, and sometimes find a stray bubble or two blocks and blocks away. Thank you Bubble Man for contributing to my neighborhood's beauty and artful (and somewhat eccentric) flare." ~ Urban Simplicity

Bubble man is a star bringing fun to his corner of the world. Reminds me of one year on Oxford Street, one store, as part of their Christmas display, had a bubble machine sending bubbles over us unsuspecting shoppers, thanks.

You are very welcome, luly. :-)

There is something so special about this puzzle, I love the Bubble Man and what he brings to his neighborhood. Enjoyed reading all your comments. Thank you, Pat! :-)

Tincup

How cool!

patw

That's really nice to read, Bill.

Someone said in a comment under the YouTube video: "thats my dad! great guy!!!"

Mazy

he was one of the last parts I completed... I guess the blue colour blocks and stripes lend themselves to finishing first. So I agree with Tincup's comment.

patw

That's great, Mazy and Marilee. Mission accomplished and thanks for solving this. Isn't it interesting that the main focus of a photograph or painting - the thing that draws your eyes - is the least significant part of a puzzle? I asked myself a couple of times, "Where the heck is the man?"

Tincup

I loved doing this puzzle Pat! Absolutely loved putting together all the vertical lines, and then the happy "surprise" of putting the man in it. Charming subject.

Mazy

I love everyone's comments! and agree 100%! a fun puzzle with all those stripes :)

patw

Allentown is a very colorful area in every sense of the word. I'm glad you enjoyed it, Gayle.

Bommom

I think it was a fun idea, a fun puzzle (loved the variety of colors when broken into pieces), and a fun video. Thanks! :-)

patw

Well, yay! Thanks so much, Pat, on behalf of the photographer! I'm going to post more of his work. :-))

This is an all-round winner, Pat! Feel-good-story; beautifully composed, evocative photo; and---best bonus!---little mini-artwork puzzle pieces to enjoy while we solve!! Thanks! :-)))

Returner

What a fun gesture this is, scattering bubbles. :-)

patw

If you wanted to be surprised out of obliviousness, Bill, the Allentown area of Buffalo is one of the likely places to do that for you. :-)

I'm just curious sometimes whether my experience putting a puzzle together coincides with someone else's. Leaderboard's a bonus if you land on it. It's all about the fun of solving. Watching it come to fruition, as you said, Cyndi.

Isaly

Pat I liked it as a puzzle. I always take my time and like to watch the picture come to fruition. So I'm not on the leader board.

Bill_I_Am

What a marvelous way to surprise people out of their obliviousness!

patw

Good idea about keeping those bubbles on hand! I'm surprised more folks weren't attracted by this photograph, and I think it was a fun puzzle. But what did you think of it as a puzzle, Cyndi?

Isaly

I, too, love bubbles. In fact I always have a bottle of bubbles here so I can go out and enjoy watching them float away. Great picture Pat and history above.

patw

Thanks so much, glensue!
