    !!! CMWD_blue !!!
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    CMWD_green (hmm, i have always considered aqua a form of green-- right? or is it technically more blue? today or tomorrow?? i am SO confused.)............ (later) ah, ha, my daughter the artist has said aqua is a shade of blue so i am pulling this until tomorrow, when i will change its designation and repost it as CMWD_blue

    am adding this to macromonday cause it was !!! very unexpected !!! for me to have a picture viewed so many times!!!!....and these beads have an *unexpectedly* slithery feel to them......

    these are called water beads. they are polymer beads that, when hydrated, can be put into a vase to provide water for cut flowers. they come in a bunch of different colors, can be reused over and over again, and i found this set at a farmers market @lakes park in fort myers. had to go researching to find out what they are officially named and found more information here:
    waterbeads.net/
    gee, i guess i'd better add this info to the comment section too, so all those who were curious finally know >ggg<

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    these aqua guys are doing the best job of staying round ~ggg~
    so i am sending this round to the ODC
    ourdailytopic round,
    also ourdailychallenge (for round)

    sorry, linda and crow, that your comments disappeared when i re-added this. and no, linda, they are not glass beads or marbles.

    am counting this as my ourdailychallenge (for round) pic since i am unpacking today (altho i took it less than 24 hours ago).... ~SIGH~.... can i go back to florida, huh? huh?

      It's blue (for our intents and purposes)!

      , thank you so much, K :) i vaccillated about whether this was blue or green, as i always considered aqua a greeny blue but my daughter thinks it is in the blue family and she's the artistic one :)
