"Marbles And Sunlight..."

Please share your thoughts...

Ah deb, 

You bring back memories of my youth.  In those days before TV, before digital anything, before even reel to reel tape, when the radio and a record player were the only indoor electronic recreation, before automatic dish washers and clothes dryers, I had a small canvas bag tied to my belt, filled with my hoard of marbles.  We boys played for keeps meaning the guy who knocked one of your marbles out of the ring got to keep it.

We classified marbles into all sorts of categories.  I think you have a couple of shooters here, but no sinkers, steelies or aggies.  Several are clearly spinners but you have a splinter on the right - needs to be thrown away.

Thanks for the stimulous to my memory.

Marbles are always a good theme for composition, good work, the texture is quite good.

Best regards Deb.

I was wondering where my marbles went - I lost them years ago. Good original photo.
