I couldn't resist posting this beautiful blue orb even though Mr Mapper posted a similar one a few days ago. The color and reflections made me quite happy with this picture.
To get a closer look just click on the photo.

great reflections, creating a nice pattern!
It's really beautiful. Where did you find it?
Today at TORUŃ DP we have an interesting post about Nazi officers. So if you are into history...come and check it out!
une très bonne idée de photo, on dirait une planète.
A very good idea of picture, it looks like a planet.
great composition and colors
Wow! You are posting some very artistic shots! The shot of the trees at Tahoe is awesome!
How do they get the blue orb down there? Does it just roll down itself?
Nice photo.
I would have been happy if I had thought of that one.
Some day I hope I will.
I too couldn't resist to take a photo of that beautiful blue orb. I like the photo very much.
Have a nice weekend!
very pretty and i remember seeing Mr Mapper's version....blue is such a beautiful color :)
Very cool, I love the depth of field in this shot.
Beautiful picture! I am a colector of glass so I really loved enlarging this for the full effect:)
I replied to your comment on my site wondering if your DH went to school in Hawaii...
i love orbs like this....i love colored glass, period! i have some similar 'witchballs' hanging in my windows at home....i like the play of light thru them.
hope you have a great weekend, sue! and hope hubby is on the upswing....
That's so pretty. Is that small, like a marble? Or is it large.
To answer your question Glenn, this was at our relatives house on their back deck.
I'm not into physics but the breeze allows the ball to circle up and down the metal spiral wire.
Laurie- the glass marble is about the size of a huge jaw breaker, maybe about 3 inches across.
Glad I looked at the larger view of the photo -- so much more amazing detail.

Oh, blue is my favorite color, and that is beautiful. Where is it located and how big is it?
Sorry...I didn't read all the comments before I asked my questions. They're answered now. Thanks.
The blue is so clear and vivid. It is a wonderful colour to photograph.
That's a neat close-up. Good eye to catch it that way.
You can never have too many blue orb photos. There is something beautifully mysterious about it.
Blue Globe,
as seen from a spaceship. :-)
I like the repeated theme of the reflected swirl of the spring on the surface of the orb, and the swirl inside the orb.
An ORB of good photographic work.
Story ends and a question in my blog.
nice post
Lovely picture. And now I want one too. Wonder where I could buy one? Any ideas??
Very pretty! Great shot!
This is a fantastic shot! the orb has such a wonderful blue tone.
It's so beautiful. Really nice!
I love it! Oliver is right, it does look like a planet. And when you click on it, the background look great also. Hope you are having a good weekend!
A lovely shot! The background is nicely out of focus to put attnetion on the orb. How big is it?
Nice image. I totally dig blown glass.
cool! :)
Amazing. Great shot.
Hello Sue, It's always been one of my secret pleasures, to look into the mysteries of blown glass. Thanks for sharing your blue orb.
Oh that's pretty! Is it a garden ornament?
I posted one of these a while back too. I like the way they look like the ball is moving, but not really.
