Curves, rounds and circles are numerous in nature and are reflected in these photos taken in our garden over a period of time. The monochrome serves to emphasise the geometry of the shapes.
Lily pads – floating circles in the garden pond
Round cross-sections of stacked wood in our firewood stash
Rounded curves of the petals and buds of a crinum lily
Tadpole embryos curled in their spherical egg sacs that float near the surface of the pond
Rounded petals, buds and leaves of a flowering cassia
An orb spider web radiating out from a central circle
Concentric rings on the rounded curves of bract fungi

Thanks very much. I don’t often do black and white images, so it was interesting to see the result.

Thanks M.B. The tadpole eggs were close to the surface in a small water feature we have. I have not seen them like that again, perhaps because now we have too many water plants that obscure such a clear view. It was just lucky to see them so clearly like that.

I’m no botanist, but I wonder if there are so many rounds in nature because
the shape adds strength/stability to the form?
Beautiful in black & white, Carol!
