Now that is different, clever, and fascinating to look at.
Nice one, Mary.
Mary MacADNski: Wish they were my balls but they belong to a friend. I love them.

I love your collection here! Very nice, Mary smile
Mary MacADNski: These belong to a friend. Aren't they fantastic. He collects lots of neat things.
Do they tell you anything, Mary? Do they all tell you the same thing? Fascinating collection. (:o)
Mary MacADNski: These belong to a friend. They fascinate me so I gathered them all together for a couple of shots. He probably was glad when I left so he could put them all back in their spots.

You have definitely got the balls, Mary! grin HA! I got to say it first!
Mary MacADNski: I do have the balls but not these. They belong to a friend and I gathered them all together for a couple of shots. I should have titled this "David's Balls". LOL

Mary LOL at Ginnie, but I thought the same thing, this is so GOOD, but...but...but...your are not a fortune teller or so grin
Mary MacADNski: No, I'm not a fortune teller. My friend is a collector of these. I was visiting and brought them all together in one place.
Fortune tellers ? smile
Mary MacADNski: My friend is a collector of many things, crystal balls being one of those things.
Nice collection Mary. I like the effect in the top one
Mary MacADNski: I took a lot of that top one. In the closeups you can see my fingerprint. This collection belongs to a friend.

I love the way the world is turned upside down through the top ball. And well all these crystal balls, I am sure you can tell me my fortune!
Mary MacADNski: I took quite a few shots of the top one with the inverted garden. Even my thumb print is visible in one. My friend who owns these crystal balls is fairly intuitive but hasn't reached the fortune telling stage.

Great shot Mary! Love the inverted garden in the "top crystal ball"

Excellent. If they were not so cold, I could have said "Great balls of fire!"
Mary MacADNski: I wish I had called it David's Balls

Ha! Do they all tell the same fortune or do they cast votes to reach a consensus forecast?
Mary MacADNski: I must ask the owner that question.
I'm going to ignore all the balls jokes. I love glass and crystal and this is a nice shot. I love the inverted image in the top ball. (The song won't play. Glad you liked the reindeer!)
Mary MacADNski: Sorry about the song. It won't play for me either but did when I uploaded this photo. The storage system is not always reliable.

Nice idea for a really funny and good shot !
Mary MacADNski: Merci, Roland. It was fun for me.

The apparent haphazard placing works well.
Now me, I would be rearranging them every few minutes
Mary MacADNski: I moved them many times. My friend was probably itching for me to leave so he could put them back where they belonged - all in different rooms.

Oooh, isn't the reflection in the top one just perfect.
Mary MacADNski: Sometime later I will post one of the shots of just the big one. Only problem is that my thumb prints is visible on them.

I love this photo! And I love the upside down reflection in the top one! A Likey for me!
Mary MacADNski: Oh thank you! Chosen as a likey!!!!
Like your collection, strange and beautiful !!
Mary MacADNski: It is the collection of a friend.
We live in a world turned upside down wink
Makes me curious what kind of other neat things your friend collects smile
Mary MacADNski: He collects very old, ancient books specializing in Scottish books and books about Scotland.
WoW! Tienes una magnífica colección de bolas de cristal. Son bellísimas. Te has fijado en el reflejo de su interior... es maravilloso!
