Flower orb  by onewing

Flower orb

This is a filler from a few days ago because I have had yet another busy day. Dentist this morning and U3A this afternoon.

I bought a bunch of flowers for a friend because she was feeling a bit down, and when I took them to her house I took my new glass orb with me too to show her. I took a quick photo of the flowers in her kitchen to show her what orb photos would look like and quite like how it turned out. If you look really close you can see her kitchen cupboards in the orb, but that just adds to the story.

Smashing shot! It looks like some form of paperweight when you use your globe like this.

So pretty and cheerful. I love how you bought your friend flowers but took the opportunity to photograph them too. Is this a friend who understands the photography bug? Ps really must get myself one of these!

@jackie8 @steampowered @tracelee @huvesaker @hermann @888rachel @bugsy @chimfa @lafish @annied @joeyc @paulaw @angelar @mcmary @eyesmile @kathiecb @wanabe Thank you all so much. Sorry for the group reply again, but this week has been so hectic and today hopefully I will be home all day. Bliss!! The bad news is I have to find the vacuum cleaner and do some housework. There is also a pile of ironing which is almost up to the ceiling too.
I seem to have encouraged some of you to dust your glass orbs or go out and buy one. Look forward to the pics.
Must dig out the vacuum cleaner now, it may need a dust though before I start!!

@paulaw PS for Paula. Yes the friend does have the photography buy which is why I took the orb along with the flowers.

Great fun. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
March 7th, 2014  
beautiful image! I'm intrigued now - must find out where to get one of those things!

@elaine55 I held the ball right next to the flower to achieve that.

@angelat Just put crystal ball into ebay and there are loads of them. Mine came from China. I think it was about $10 and is 80 mm. I have a paperweight too which I have had for years and that is 60 mm. You can get them in various sizes.

I was just thinking where can I get an orb when I read all the comments...ebay here I come!

@net sorry but missed commenting on this one. Thanks Lynette, Hope your orb has arrived by now. They are great fun. @khawbecker Thanks so much for dropping by and thanks for the fav. This was such a spur of the moment shot when I was showing a friend my orb. Orb one hand and camera the other and click. Don't you just love it when photos work realy quickly.
