Living in a bubble

Since I saw the discussion on using crystal balls in taking pictures, I got interested in looking for one. I looked at a local garden center and they had this big ball on display among the plants. I pulled out my P&S and snapped a couple of pictures. I got a little selfie in there, too. :) They had some colored balls for sale which were pretty big so they didn't really have what I wanted.

Thank you so much for your kind comments and favs. I appreciate everyone of them.
beautiful colors

Ooh, that's cheeky! Did anyone look at you? I always feel a bit silly when I do something like this... I invariably turn round and someone is looking at me a bit strangely (usually my husband lol!)

@jackie8 Thank you Jackie. Fortunately no one was close to where I was so if they did see me, they were too far away for me to notice. Like you, I feel awkward about it sometimes, too.

Great idea, I just go around and find different colored ones in people's gardens. I know where there are three different colored ones. hey, great selfie.

Neat reflection. What a great idea. I have a colored gazing ball. I wonder if it would work. This is excellent.
August 22nd, 2012  
So much reflected in this -- so lovely. I might have to get one of these for my garden :)

In the real world I have never heard someone say "that's cheeky". Just in novels. I love that it was used here. I adore gazing balls in gardens. I don't have one either but this borrowed use of one makes for a great picture.

That is so cool - I love the reflections and the rainbow colors.

@myhrhelper Thank you Kathy. You'll have to post your ball with your selfie in it. I would love to see it.
August 23rd, 2012  
@myhrhelper Oh I remember yours now, Kathy. Thank you for the link. I really liked it and commented on it. I guess I thought you meant you had just taken one and hadn't posted it yet.. Thank you for replying back.
August 23rd, 2012  
What a great shot, Marilyn. Love the reflections you captured including you. The balls that one gal on here uses was purchased at Amazon.com. They come in various sizes but fit in your hand. I have wanted one also. Would prefer to find something like this though as it was free to use. FAV

Very cool bubble shot - great title

That is a great ball.. what was the pricetag? I want it in my garden :)
August 31st, 2012  
@calx Thank you Calx. I think the price on the balls were around $49. They were bigger than what I was looking for.
