This week's subject for the Friday My Town Shoot-out is Circles - chosen by
Kerry from Corvallis, Oregon.
The widnmill sails go round in circles - or they would if it still worked.
Arrowe Park's country park symbol is in a circle.
The Dandelion seeds were a circle until the wind blew.
And the Honesty seeds still are in circles.
This old piece of farm machinery relied on its circular wheel.
Even the Police Station has a circular symbol.
And there are lots of circular sky satellite dishes on the shops.

Great set of pictures. Did you know that in North America the plant you call honesty is called a silver dollar plant? Just another example of two continents divided by a common language, to paraphrase Chuchill. Or at least I think it was Winnie who said it.

I don't think it was Churchill, Carol - funnily enough I once did a posting about it for my word blog. Silver dollar plant sounds a much more appropriate name.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad that we are from different ends of the world so I can see every ones perspective on circles...you always add that nice touch... I am holding on to your wonderful windmill photos you sent me a while back for banners...they will come in handy for some creative banners for us! I was in Holland during college, and loved seeing them in person!
ReplyDeleteGlad to see the police are aROUND everywhere you go. Love the dandilion.
ReplyDeleteObviously circles come in all shapes and varieties. They are ubiquitous in nature, in design and technology. Where would be be without the humble circle?
ReplyDeleteWonderful and thoughtful pictures as always Scriptor.
Love your circles. I quite enjoyed your picture of the old farm equipment. The contrasts and lack of color really makes it stand out.
ReplyDeleteIt takes me awhile to wake up! These pictures are yours. Great photos.
ReplyDeleteSince I don't have a blog site, I can't comment on your memories website, but I wanted to add the following to the comments you may get.
ReplyDeleteIt's a lovely photo of your mum in the coral necklace. Do I detect a resemblance to the photos I've seen of Helen? If so, a very nice tribute to both of them! :0)
Have a great day, Canadian Chickadee
You found a number of interesting circles all around you, and took some great pics. You caught that dandelion at the perfect moment I think, so beautiful and fragile! Have a good weekend!
ReplyDeleteI loved the dandelion. As I told someone else, looks like my white hair when I get up in the AM. I always learn something on these Fridays. I love this project for several reasons. The more the merrier.

I love that dandelion shot, too. So delicate and beautiful. Looks like someone has already blown on it to make a wish - do you do that in your part of the world, too?
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful to pick a subject and then just go for it! I may have to try that sometime! I love how a circle is never ending....I am kind of like a circle....hehehe never ending...nice and round...hehehe and loving every bit of it!...have a wonderful weekend!
ReplyDeletenice shoot out. I like the farm equipment, antique? very creative post SS!
ReplyDeleteOh, I really like the arrow symbol and the circle at the police station. Love the windmill too. Your collection of circles is very sophisticated. Love them.
ReplyDeleteNow you mention it, Pauline, that does sound familiar - wishing when you blow on a dandelion seedhead. Must have worked - I won a whole £7.20p on the Euromillions lottery!
ReplyDelete“Two nations divided by a common language.” - Winston Churchill
ReplyDeletewas correct.... looked it up on the net.
love the dandilion - we used to make a wish then blow.... nice shots all.
I absolutely love that dandelion shot!
ReplyDeleteObviously depends who you believe, Ginger. With Wilde saying it in 1887 and plenty of others asyin it after that I suspect if Churchill said it he wasn't the first.
ReplyDeleteLove windmills, and I love seeing them from other places - Maybe we should have that as a future theme...
ReplyDeleteAround (pardon the pun) here your Honesty plant is often called the Money plant. Maybe because the seed pods look a bit like silver coins. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos - that dandelion is exquisite.
ReplyDeletethe dandilion shot was my favorite, no the police symbol one, no, the farm stuff...ok, I liked them all. :)
