whenever i'm wandering around...
especially outside...
i notice all kinds of things.
i'm so much more observant of all the little things...
in nature...
than what kind of car someone owns...
or what the latest fad...or fashion is...
or who's marrying who...divorcing...cheating!
sometimes i get these bright ideas...weird ideas...
to do something a little different.
like...back in november, i did a post including shadows...
...because shadows have always intrigued me. they inspire me.
soothe me and...sometimes...frighten me. all at the same time.
they're mysterious. other worldly.
then, a couple of months ago, in february, i did a post...
yard textures...mostly
...because i just can't help myself...i like to touch! everything!
(well, not everything...)

from bricks to mushrooms...there are so many varied textures in nature.
oOo
for a while now, i've been looking for ROUND things in nature.
these photos are just a fraction of what i've collected.
i hope all the ROUND 'n ROUND doesn't make your head spin.
BUT if you start feeling a little dizzy...sit down.
take a deep breath. maybe put your head between your knees.
it'll pass.
enjoy.

ROUND...
like a hole in the tree...
like part of a paper wasp's nest...
like a mushroom...
Caterpillar: “…and the other side will make you grow shorter.”
Alice: “The other side of what?”
Caterpillar: “The mushroom, of course!”
~Alice in Wonderland
like the swirly cinnamon fern before it opens & spreads it's leaves...
like the tiny honey comb holes...
like the thick vine wrapping around a tree branch...
like weathered wood...
like the sun...
"It is almost impossible to watch a sunset and not dream."
Bern Williams
ROUND...
like the eye socket of a deer skull...
like the hole in a spider web...
like drops of water on a leaf...
like a sand dollar...
like an ant mound...
like the small vines wrapping around trees and bushes...
like...SPLAT! bird poop on a leaf...
like...uh...what the heck is this anyway?
some kind of growth on a tree branch...
like the owl's eyes...
“I think everyone will remember the first time they saw an owl.”
~Kim Kuska
ROUND...
like the lotus flower pods...
like all the woodpecker holes...in the dead and dying trees...
like the casing that was shed by some morphing insect...
like some ocean coral...
and...round...like the moon.
Why ROUND?
why not square? or rectangular?
hmmmm...i don't know.
maybe - subconsciously - i think...
round...circular...never ending...eternal.
the cycle of life...birth...death...continuous...infinity.
∞
the circle of life.
stay cool.
have a safe journey & enjoy the ride.

PS - see that page up there under the header?
'misspelled signs' i've come across.
if YOU have a picture of a sign...deserving to be on this page...
go ahead, email it to me...say where the picture was taken (what state? country?)
and i'll ADD it to the page with a link to your blog (unless you tell me not to!)
OR just your name!
