That where my marbles went!!!! Just leave them on my doorstep when you are finished playing with them. I mean it. I know where you live.

On another note, I love playing with marble with the camera. You can do such cool things with them.

Upvoted and will Resteem later tip!

Here is my link to my post:
https://steemit.com/monochromemonday/@dswigle/5b6tjp-monochrome-monday

I'd give you some of mine but I lost them a long time ago :)

LOLZ you too!!! lol

😂👍

Oh I thought we were sharing them. You know, how we do ;) You can come and get them if you want them! I DARE ya :P

@old-guy-photos

You should watch what you wish for... I won't even cite and example...

I thought they were those little cod liver oil pills we had to take in the olden days.

That sounds yummy :/

Only when you burp after...then it's REAL yummy :)

LOL

Hahaha!!

Who would have thought something as simple as Marbles could look so awesome

Tip!

Ohh and here
is my post for today https://Steemit.com/monochromemonday/@tattoodjay/monochrome-monday-1-wall-street

Oh so kind of you, Sir. Ill be sure to leave a nice vote on your link as a thank you!

Not at all and no need for Sir, I dont take part in that many daily challenges these days but yours and @dswigle are the ones I always try and make sure I have somehting for :P

@old-guy-photos,

Always showing off, Paul.

Sterling Engines, Lava Lamps that tell the temperature, exotic salad dressings that no one else has ever heard of. And now, marbles.

And not just any marbles: Monochromatic Marbles. Alliterative marbles.

It occurred to me that I don't have marbles in any chromatic configuration. Hell, I don't even know how to take a black and white picture of marbles ... assuming that black and white is the same as monochromatic, which I'm not sure that it is.

Is this some sort of, "Let them eat cake" thing?

I do have a mirror. In fact, I have three mirrors, Paul. Of course, you probably have four.

I suppose next Monday, it'll be your Monochromatic Maserati.

OK ... that's all the BS I can come up with about marbles. Your sense of the aesthetic is obviously a lot greater than mine. Great job.

Well if you have a camera, you can do black and whites. You can put and pic into GIMP and hit colors, then desaturate and there you have it. GIMP is free and open source and a wonderful app.
https://www.gimp.org/
I also host #treetuesday which is in color. Feel free to take part.

@old-guy-photos,

Are you forgetting that I couldn't figure out how to DM on Discord for 2 weeks! Or that it was you that finally made it magically work ... at 3 AM in the morning? Now you want me to desaturate! in GIMP! If you were a betting man ...!

Oh, good news ... it's open source. Well, I'm sure that will make all the difference.

Paul, I consider myself lucky if I can turn on the TV. It is, at best, a 50/50 proposition. Why do I need two remotes with hundreds of buttons between them? On/Off. Channel. Volume.

Desaturate it in GIMP.

You don't know who you're talking to.

Clear glass marbles? What happened to the pretty ones with designs inside? It's OK because you made these marbles look amazingly interesting. : )

Marbles, marbles, marbles. When I was a kid I couldn't get enough marbles. It was the craze at school.

We had a craze for yo-yos!

I see the elusive marbles were secured. :) Really interesting shot. I love finding cool forms. Very nice! Peace.

All the glass marbles are looking so shiny, here is mine... https://steemit.com/monochromemonday/@angryboy/monochrome-monday

Love this photo of your nephew!

Thanks for taking part in #monochromemonday

Darn, my first thought was "Frogs Eggs". Oh well, mirrored balls it is then. Nice image, Mon, like the detail and spheroidical nature of things. Very creative indeed.

Well we can pretend they were frogs eggs, just REAL up close! LOL Upped.

Ha haa, I like that. So I should be expecting the final image of 2700 newly-hatched croakie tads swimming about on a mirror in the next 4 weeks. (I can dream, can't I?)

I will send you the birth pics :)

Thanks for the link. Im heading over! Upped!

Fantastic black and white shots!

thanks, upped.

Did you know you can get some great clear and colored marbles at the Dollar Tree? @old-guy-photos Do you have that store in MI? Here's my monochromemonday post:

Oh yeah, we got Dollar Tree, Family Dollar and Dollar General. They must think know we are cheapskates!

Nothing wrong with being thrifty, after all we still have kids to put through college!

Glass marbles create beautiful reflections in shade of gray.
Very unusual photos. I've never seen such a thing.

Cool subject for monochrome those marbles look great! I'm going to resteem this because it's such a great challenge and then I'm off to find some monochrome of my own. I'll be back... :)

Awesome! Upped.

ya know i thought those were those little gel beads you keep in plants / vases to less water plants / flowers LOL

I do cover the dirt with them so it looks nice, but they are glass. I tried it with my nails lol. Upped.

Fantastic point of view. Love it. Congratulations , my friend !!!

I love these little balls and it´s my favorite color! So wonderful!!!

Thanks for the sweet comments. Upped.

That's really awesome sir :-) It gives a sense of greater depth than what we see, as the glass reflects the marbles from below.

Much obliged, my friend. Upped.

Always a pleasure good sir :-)

I always love marbles. They look so beautiful if we put them in water, in pot, or even in bowl on table. And look they even look good in grey. Very artistic. Great job

Thanks!

Glad to see you haven't lost your marbles ... lol. Happy Monochrome Monday ... in your honour I sucked out all the colour in my life ... feeling silly. I may be coffee giddy.
