“Ha ha ha. He really did lose his marbles, didn’t he?” Peter Pan, “Hook”
Hahahah…
absolutely, Diva!
🙂
Let me know if you find any of mine.
I love the angles and the shadows on this one.
Hahaha…
glad I’m not the only one!
Thank you very much, Laura!
🙂
I hope you’re enjoying the festive season, Robert. Best wishes to you and Annabelle.
Cool shot, too. Lovely tones.
Thank you so very much, S.E!
We hope that you are too, of course!
That is very kind of you (as always)!
🙂
always happy to hear when someone hasn’t lost all their marbles 🙂 and this is a great image – love the DOF and the light, and the way the marbles seem to be defying gravity just ever so cautiously. any more, and they would be rolling right off the screen to the right.
thanks for sharing.
Hahaha… I sure hope they don’t roll off completely (then I’ll really be in trouble)!
Thank you for your very kind comment, P&K!
🙂
Great shot! I like game of light and shadow 🙂
It had been very cloudy for quite some time – I was very happy to finally see the sun again!
Thank you so much, Ms. B!
🙂
Amazing masterpiece captured spilledinkguy your work Rocks 🙂
The sun and the marbles did all the hard work for me…
all I had to do was push a button!
Thank you for your very kind comments (as always), Jake!
🙂
This is great 🙂
I’m thrilled to hear you liked this one, Ms. F!
Thank you!
🙂
I lost mine along time ago, but if you can find them, you are sure to make them look great!
Love this shot!
Deb xx
Me, too, Deb (literally and figuratively)!
Thank you very much!
It was a lot of fun to put together (when marbles are involved how can it not be, right?)!
🙂
It’s a start but you are way short of a bag.
Hahaha… everyone’s got to have goals in life, right?!
🙂
Beautiful. My youngest daughter loves them. It’s called “Biidama” in Japanese.
I played with them all the time when I was younger
(although I mostly made up my own original games with them for some reason).
That is fascinating – thank you very much for that translation, sir!
🙂
I love marbles…old ones are the best! One of the advantages of living in an old house is at times, we come across little buried treasures such as marbles. I keep the ones I find in a amber jar – also an ancient find in the attic – on my office window sill where the afternoon sunshine can stream in and illuminate them.
Nicely composed and the b&w tones work great!
Me, too, M.P.! Unfortunately I don’t have to many vintage marbles. I’m pretty sure I did at one point… I’m not sure what happened to them, though. It’s kind of a shame.
Thank you very, very much!
🙂
Love this in black and white. And the sun and shadows just beautiful! 🙂
It was so nice to finally see the sun again, Katie! I was determined to do something with it!
Thank you very much!
🙂
My parents wouldn’t let me play with marbles as a kid just so I could say I never lost any.
Oh no! You’ve been deprived, sir!
I’d be happy to borrow you a few… but as you can see… yeah. Still missing.
🙂
Great shot!
I have an antique glass bottle filled with glass marbles with a glass shooter for a stopper on the top. Reminds me to put some play in the day.
Thank you very much, Nancy!
Sounds like a wonderful collection! I used to have quite a few more (literally)… I’m not sure what happened to them (hopefully I’ll come across them some day)…
🙂
oh wonderful: you made a bridge to my best childhood memories!
It is always so nice to hear that something I’ve posted finds some meaning in a personal experience…
thank you very, very much, sir!
🙂
Ooo very cool! Great shot. Makes me think of that movie “Labyrinth” 🙂
I’m so happy to hear you liked this one, Eden – thank you!
I’ve not yet seen ‘Labyrinth’ but quite a few people have mentioned it to me (so it’s definitely on my list)!
🙂
great shot. i think mine are still lost.
You are very kind, U.M… thank you!
Hahaha… at least I’m not the only one, then!
🙂
but where’s the rest!?? LOL. Nice shot, Inky!
Hahaha… if only I knew, sir… if only I knew!
Thank you very much, Mr. B!
🙂
How come they’re not rolling down the slope? Did you use super glue??? For some strange reason I am reminded of my uncle’s glass eye…
Hahaha… take that, gravity!
🙂
Wonderful shot! Great choice of focal point and depth of field! Keep those shots rollin Bob – absolutely classic in the simplicity 🙂
Thank you so much, Martin!
When the weather gets colder I tend to look for more indoor stuff to shoot…
but the light was really nice, so I think this turned out okay after all.
🙂
This is absolutely gorgeous! I love it!
I’m so happy to hear you liked this one!
Thank you very much!
🙂
Love the shadows SIG!
I think that’s what drew me to this idea, too, C.O.R…
thank you!
🙂
Hope you had a good Christmas too!
We did, sir!
Thank you!
🙂

They look magical! ***with my eyes closed, making a wish*** ( = u =)
Thank you very much, Cristina!
I hope it comes true for you!
🙂
Are they Christmas marbles? The light through them is a nice effect.
Hope you two had a great Christmas.
Hahaha… my Christmas marbles are more… coal-like.
Thank you very much, sir! I hope that your family did as well!
🙂
Aw I see your trying to find yourself. Remember to pack an emergency kit. Great journey my friend.
Coke and chips are packed up and ready to go!
Many thanks, JB!
🙂
I haven’t commented much of late, but I am still checking out your work…including these fine cat’s eyes.
Just happy to know you liked this one, Mr. J –
I always dig what you are working on, of course!
🙂
Oh good! We were all concerned. 🙂
Hahaha… thanks for the concern, Mel.
It’s still a bit touch and go, though, you know.

I seem to be missing a few of my own these days. If you find extra, please send them my way.
Hahaha…
I sure wish I could help you out
(but just between you and me I even had to borrow the three in the photo)!
🙂
I like to pretend mine are still in the pouch in my desk, but alas, like yours, mine have wandered over the years. But on a brighter note, I found one of yours here: http://mommasmoneymatters.wordpress.com/2011/12/28/vba-3/
Red.
Great minds must have had them wonder alike!
Thank you so much for stopping by, Red –
and for thinking of me, too! That was very, very kind of you!
🙂
Ooooooooooooh!!! What a find!!! Three marbles make such a difference in a person’s life… each is PRECIOUS for mental survival!!
Now, if only I could find the 7, 259, 000 I’ve lost…hmmmm…. where… oh, where… could they be? 😉
Absolutely, Juana! This is the best I’ve felt in years!
Hahaha… oh no! I wish I could help you out with that, but as you can see my marble-hunting skills are a little lacking (at best)!
🙂
Marble-ous use of light, texture and perspective. Three cat’s eyes, no aggies, immies, or swirrlies, and absolutely no tradesies.
Hahaha… thanks for that, sir!
I can tell by your marble-vernacular that you are working with quite a few of them!
🙂
Coooooool
Thank you very much!
🙂
OH! I just found one more! It was under the couch! 😛
How about chips? Did you find any chips under there?!
🙂
wow! how did i miss this? beautiful!
Thank you very much, N.M. – I had a lot of fun with this one!
🙂
great shot! Love the composition and it’s effect!
peace
xandi
Thank you very much, X.M.!
To tell you the truth I kind of lucked out on most of that (I had the idea in mind but it took quite a bit of guess work due to the location).
🙂
I had been missing several of your great pictures. For some reason this one leaves me in a very cheerful mood. My very best wishes for this new year!
That’s just the way things go sometimes –
I always appreciate your very kind comments, sir, thank you!
A very happy New Year to you, too!
🙂
I love this photo… it would be perfect to hang on the wall, the reflections, the clarity, a real winner.
That is very, very kind of you to say…
thank you, Maggie! And thank you for stopping by, too –
I really appreciate it!
🙂
this is wonderful. this is how marbles look when they grow up 🙂
I don’t even know how to play marbles.
WHERE HAS MY CHILDHOOD GONE?!
*sob*
To tell you the truth, I never played with them ‘properly’ either.
In my case D.I.Y. slingshots may or may not have been involved.
It’s probably best not to say.
🙂
Nice shot, so many details. Did you find any of mine? It sounds like a lot of us are missing some. 🙂
Thank you so much!
Hahaha… no, sorry… in fact, I think I’ve already lost a few of my newly recovered ones!
🙂
