What a pretty bracelet. Reminds me of the days many years ago when I played marbles.

Barbara from Florida, United States
Wow! I like this Lorraine. The light is perfect giving a wonderful reflection of colors. Each bead is interesting with it's own unique shape and colors. I like the pink to the right. It reminds me of flamingo's.
Very nice and cheerful capture.

@Barbara: Aren't they precious? I love making bracelets even if I probably will never wear any, I just love the colours and holding them and especially photographing the colours and shadows :) Thanks so much!

Anne from White Rock, Canada
Wow! Great idea for a shot Lorraine! It is splendid. Love the sparkles and the reflection on the floor is lovely!
You did make it first to my blog when you said you would. Sorry I didn't! Last evening I hoped to get on here, but when putting some crystal back in my china cabinet, as I close the centre door the whole middle panel glass door suddenly creaked and dropped out first onto my feet, and then split in about five pieces on the floor. I was left holding the knob in my hand. Been trying to sort that one out a lot of the day - how to get a matching glass panel for a new door!!!! Sigh! I still have a few aquarium shots pre-posted, but decided to get here and hopefully a few more, even though it is now 1:00 am. Wish they would start it at Midnight GMT.

Good God Girl, you could have been seriously hurt, glad it didn't happen...Sometimes with extra cold and then heat, things explode, you have to be careful, visit you soon!
@Ana Lúcia: How nicely put, thanks a lot Ana ;)

@alex centrella: Graçias senor Alex ;)
Japanalia from Yokohama, Japan
You had an interesting idea with these beads! And the way light is reflected so differently makes the shot attractive!Quite an experiment to see how light is filtered by every one of the beads, each being different from the other! Find this very funny! (Is that the kitchen floor?)
3 Apr 2008 3:21pm
@Japanalia: I love the Light and colours and sparkles and yes Dear Lady it's on the kitchen floor, I love the way the sun hits the floor ;) Thanks so much!
Janice Thomson from Canada
How beautiful the refractions of light in the shadows of the beads mon amie - you always have such creative ideas! The glow from the overhead light adds a wonderful softness. Beautiful.
3 Apr 2008 3:33pm
@Janice Thomson: Merci ma chère amie, I knew you'd like it...there's that magic of Light hitting colours, plus it keeps my hands busy making bracelets (which I am a lot more successful then trying my hands at knitting: what a disaster lol) and they make wonderful photographic models ;)
@yiannis krikis: Glad you enjoyed it Yiannis, thanks a lot!
Michael Rawluk from Prince George, Canada
I like the laser beams of light hittting the background.
3 Apr 2008 5:20pm
@Michael Rawluk: Thanks a lot Michael, laser beams lol I like that :)
