gazing balls

Reflective yard ornaments

Gazing balls are decorative glass or mirrored spheres placed in gardens, typically mounted on pedestals.

Popular since Victorian times, they reflect the surrounding landscape in miniature and add a touch of whimsy to outdoor spaces.

Also called garden balls or yard globes.

The gazing ball caught the morning light among the hostas.
