Something Different

I decided I needed a little bit of play time today. I have this glass paperweight, and it is very colorfully designed. I was curious how it would turn out if I would take a few close-up shots as the sun shined through the glass. Even though the colors are great, and the design is quite neat, I liked the black & white much better. I think it really gave it a strange, cosmo kind of appearance. It was fun. Simple but different. I think it is kind of cool.

Great shot! I like that as colorful as this is you opted to go b&w. BTW, yes we survived the backyard camping. Looking forward to our next camping excursion...hopefully a little further away (or not). ;)

I would never have guessed a paperweight! I like the lines... straight on the bottom part, but then they kind of go off wavy into the unknown. I like it, too.
