Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #290 Circular Wonders

“The whole universe is based on rhythms. Everything happens in circles, in spirals.” – John Hartford

When thinking about the photo challenge topic this week, everywhere I looked I saw Circles! I have been to the beach a lot lately, our dogs love it there plus it is a beautiful place to take long walks early in the morning. The other day after a recent storm a lot of sea foam had washed up on the sand. The foam was particularly interesting this morning because the early sun was reflecting off hundreds of tiny circular bubbles giving the appearance of lovely arrangements of colorful jewels all along the beach.

The next day, I noticed beautifully etched Circles all along the sand. This particular area was still being created by the small sea snail working on the left side of his art work! (Clicking the image will enlarge it.)

Lily pads and lotus flowers are endless Circles grouped together in large circular areas! This is the same picture as the header, note the small frog sitting peacefully on the lily pad at the bottom of the picture.

“A circle is the strongest shape in the universe. Nothing can beat it, nothing can improve upon it, nothing can be more perfect.” – Dave Eggers

This next series of images shows a few more Circular Wonders. These orbs were created from photos of various flowers and Adobe Photoshop software.
