My wife has a glass container full of these yellow beads. They contain fragrance and evaporate over time. I saw these one day and said to me self "Self, you need to take a photo of that.". A few days later, I looked at the container again and they had shrunk to minuscule little nothings. She recently refilled the container so I got right on it.

Great shot! Very creative!
Thanks Martha! I just thought these were neat looking.
Oh yeah, waterballs...my girl have these ones..you did it so perfectly. I had a few shots before.
I bet they'd make a neat time lapse series!
Those balls look nice - are they only decorations or does your wife use them for something?
I can certainly see why you took this one, Wayne... It would command my attention as well because of the interesting patterns and reflections... but I probably wouldn't have thought of taking a pic. Well done.
Thanks Pacey!
Marka,
Great idea! I think it takes a week or more for them to fully disintegrate. I'll give that some thought.
Marilla, They are a decoration that gives off a fragrance. They decompose over time, so they need to be periodically replaced.
Thanks Earnest. My wife thinks I'm nuts because of some of the wacky photos I shoot. She's right.
A beautiful and good composition, good day.
yeah you're right on it, it look great for mellow yellow
