Round and round · Mar 22, 09:30 AM

As I was going for a wildflower walk in the spring I noticed how many round shapes occur in nature. Trying to be artistic, I edited my images to highlight the round shapes.

Leaves of a soaproot plant grow in a circleGreen radiating leaves of a plant I have not identified.Prickly green young thistle The green leaves of plantainA round of green lichen clinging to the bark of a treeBright yellow dandilionWhite colored alyssum blossomBlue-Eyed Grass, a blue star like flowerA bright orange calendula

I forgot that the background color for the articles on the page is not white, so the white background in the pictures appeared jarring to my eye. Discouraged, I saved this article as a draft so that is was not visible. I was going to fix those pictures! Now, a year-and-a-half later I have decided that I will never get around to it.

So here they are, in all their jarring glory.
