This is one of my dearest possessions. I’ll be posting other versions.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. To me, a picture is worth a thousand memories; for when all is said and done, it is the memories that last with us forever.

A glass marble from your childhood? Indeed, this would be a precious treasure. I would love to see it in color.

Thank you for this post, Sherri. I guess as a favorite possession – we won’t be playing for ‘keepsies’…

A beautiful presentation.

Goodness Sherri that takes me straight back to a street corner in Liverpool and my bag of marbles…which in that fair city were called “ollies”. Mr Goodman’s comment is spot on.

How did you get that clam in there? Or maybe it’s a macaroni?

Lovely capture. I’m guessing it’s a water droplet midway in the air.
