Gazing At Aliens From Outer Space

 A lot of our neighbors have gazing balls. I think they are so pretty. Are there any around your neighborhood?






And look; gazing birds!



And a gazing pineapple!


But someone else has been gazing at me while I gaze at the gazing balls!


A Space Alien! His eyes look a bit damaged from so much gazing.


In twilight’s hush, the garden glows,

 A crystal orb in moonlight shows

 Reflections twist, then shimmer bright,

 As aliens land in soft starlight.

They peer inside with curious grace,

 Mistaking frogs for Earth’s wise race. 

A gnome waves gently from the lawn,

 And just like that, the ship is gone.

Hi Ginny, these are all beautiful and colourful, especially all except the last one. 😊 I like the last one as well, but the others are very captivating.

I used to love looking at our gazing ball, but now a lot of vegetation is in the way I think. I'll have to look again.

They catch the sunlight in such a lovely way.

Can't decide if that alien looks friendly or not. I love gazing balls and have always wanted one. I found an old bowling ball in the basement and put that outside to look like a gazing ball

You have the most interesting neighborhood and I continually enjoy all their decorations when you share them. Great photos and a fun poem too.

We have a small glass ball that hangs from a hook in our front flowerbed. It's like a mini gazing ball. I love all these, they are so beautiful!

So pretty Ginny. I’ve always wanted one of the garden gazing balls.

I have never seen a globe outside, but I have seen them in a store. I think they are pretty. Now for that alien - what gives? lol

I love your whimsical poem, Ginny! I haven't noticed any orbs where we live, but I recall seeing them up north when we'd visit my grandparents in Massachusetts. Have a blessed day and be on the lookout for those aliens!

These are so pretty. I haven't seen any in my neighborhood, but I've seen them at the home shop in town. I really like that second pinkish one. And the green bird is a beauty. The alien is a quirky addition to the house, isn't it?

Have a good week, Ginny.
