This week Leya shows us sights from her recent trip to Nice, France, with delightful images featuring circles of many varieties. She encourages us to interpret this challenge in ways that we “find most interesting.” Mushrooms, toadstools and other fungi have always fascinated me. Here are a few favorites.
Of course there are many other circular marvels to find when looking down upon our earth. Below, a milkweed seed-head, a sun-shaped jellyfish, an Alloniscus trail (woodlouse going in circles), and a small nest, perhaps Junco.
There are many man-made circular wonders to admire as well. Below, a Model A Ford, with many circles and curlicues ~1920.

Lindy, what a great post! Your photo selections were beautiful. I liked the mushroom images a lot, but the old Model A Ford with those red wheels is a big winner for my eyes.
Thank you, Egídio. It was hard to limit myself with the mushrooms – they are fascinating plants. I am learning to find edibles, and had some luck this past fall. When the Model A Ford club arrived here at the Breakers, it was such fun. Glad you enjoyed my choices!
Great examples. love the red care wheels, and Joni, of course.
Thank you, John. I had three other photos of different Model A’s, but those red wheels sealed the deal for me!
I so much enjoyed your choices – especially the mushrooms! In your photo they look like delicious cakes! How great that you have found edibles too, because they are really tasty. My father was an expert on mushrooms and exported them too. Unfortunately I never learned from him as I didn’t grow up with him nearby.
Loved the red wheels too, and Joni Mitchell, and who would not love a bird’s nest or a colourful carousel?
Thank you Leya. It was a fun challenge, and since I have a thing about mushrooms, it was a chance to feature some!
Good for us all!
So much to love. Love your natural wonders the best. The mushrooms, toadstools, and nest. And how nice of the Alloniscus to step in with a contribution. I thought the Chihuly balls were actually marbles. Very cool, and thank you for the carousel.
Playing catch up again! Thank you for your kind comments. Alloniscus often looks like it is going in every direction at once, so this circle was a rare find!!!
