Reflections of the Dutch town of Edam in gazing balls atop an iron fence. Click photos to view detail.
These balls are updated versions of gazing balls popular in the 19th-century.
I'm busy entertaining a friend from college days. Back soon with a post about our first water lilies of the season. Wherever you are today, hope you're enjoying your weekend!

These balls are stunning with their deep colours and reflections. And I've just spent ages exploring the links on your previous post (supposed to be marking essays, but this is way more fun) - I'm in love with Stella Harasek's home (and her dogs) and was happy to find Igor's lovely blog ... thanks for all this!

These are simply gorgeous, Tara! I'm wondering -- perhaps one would be pretty in my back yard!
I know you are taking wonderful care of your guest! Have fun!
