For the Macro Mondays challenge: Sphere. Area shown is about 58mm wide.
Baoding Balls are metal balls small enough to hold in one hand, used for physical exercise and therapy. They are also known as Chinese exercise balls, Chinese health balls and they produce a pleasant chiming sound when they are moved.
Fingerprints and imperfections on the glass gave me the idea to spin the sphere to blur them out. I used the torch function from my mobile to light it from behind.
The theme for “Smile on Saturday” for the 5th of March is “sphere on black”. Looking at the theme in my dining room, I immediately thought of the Art Deco column lamp standing atop a china cabinet next to me. A gift from my mother some Christmases ago, the chrome lamp has its original Art Deco spherical ornamental shade with its undulating geometric designs. I hope you like my choice of the theme this week, and that it makes you smile.
To contemplate a sphere is to feel the pull of symmetry, the comfort of balance, and the faint unease of perfection. It is a reminder that some truths are not meant to be unfolded, only held—smooth, complete, and endlessly returning to themselves.

Not much post processing here, but lots of playing around with a tiny LED lights, a 2cm crystal sphere and even smaller crystal beads ;o)
This shot made me think of the refrain "we are stardust - we are golden" from "Woodstock" by Joni Mitchell

I love round, shiny things. Got this beauty a few months ago and finally brought it out to play. I was just experimenting with it, but I actually was pleasantly surprised how this one turned out. The day was supposed to be partly cloudy, but in good NC fashion, wait 5 minutes and the sun comes out. And true to form, direct sunlight makes it difficult to handle glass spheres. Now, I see why there are little frames for them. My husband kindly held the sphere for me for this shot.
I'm always coming up with excuses, but some subjects that the Macro Monday admins come up with are hard to find. We have a house regularly packed out with small grandchildren who can reach and find all sorts of hidden dangers. Small objects, small balls, ball bearings, tiny toys, batteries, etc definitely come into that category and as far as we have been able, have all been removed from where they might pose a danger. I did find one 1cm diameter steel ball, but it was actually a knob on a cafetier coffee pot, and I found it impossible to make interesting for Macro Monday. Instead as mentioned in my previous post, whilst in the shower, I found my balls (figuratively speaking) in the ceiling light, with a light dusting for authenticity.

I made this, a sphere of tiny pages of words hanging by a thread.
With last week's theme about complementary colors/colours, I downloaded library books about art and hues. One book entitled Playing with Books, by Jason Thompson, caught my imagination for this week's theme. With the exception of slicing my finger with the x-acto knife, I simply followed Thompson’s brief instructions. And getting my old sewing machine to sew through paper layers.
I adore words and have written, edited, and done layouts as a career since forever.
Please note: Each circle comes from an obsolete book no one wanted: not libraries, used book donations, or charity. I used to think that books deserved a good home. Apparently we have too much of everything. As someone told me as I called around to check about donating clothes and books, We can’t take them, he said. No room. Next stop will be mulch for other purposes. Trees! That’s one reason I download online books.

Ultra wide angle pictures of beautiful metro stations
have become increasingly popular during the last years.
Up until now, this place has not been photographed
too often, and it is one of my personal favorites.
A close-up photograph of Ribwort plantain. It can be used in herbal teas and other herbal remedies, but we call it a weed in Iowa. However, the seed rosette is kind of cool to photograph.
