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.

I love how the sunlight reflects off the balls. I haven't seen them around here. No body around here is that creative.

Glitter In The Air

 We were at Cracker Barrell the other day. Not to eat, but just browse the gift shop. What fascinated me were these glitter things. What do ...
