Marbles in Sunlight

 

A mix of giant handmade and machine-made marbles in a glass vase. Photo from above.

 

I keep these marbles in a glass vase and occasionally stare at them while choosing the best word in a poem or making other writing decisions. Dust collects, so I periodically wash and reset them. I took these photos the last time I did. The dramatic lighting in the pic below was more accident than plan. A lucky moment. Maybe a prompt for a future poem.
