Just look around you! How many circles are there? They are everywhere! I am driving in circles every day, though Audi calls them The Rings.

I looked up while in the Everett Public Library, and what did I see, but some brightly-colored glass circles.

OK, Tina, here are some for you.

How’s that for a bunch of Ferris wheels? The top two are from the Washington State Fair, the pinwheel-lighted on is on the Santa Monica Pier, and the bottom one is Seattle’s waterfront Great Wheel.

On a bit smaller scale, for the last few years, Trader Joe’s has made its Challah bread in a round pinwheel shape, rather than the normal oblong braided loaf. It tastes as scrumptious as it looks, too.

Circles are pretty popular motifs for sculptors to work with. Here are a couple of pieces of public art I have seen recently.

This one is in Colorado Springs. It would take a pretty big bicycle to use those wheels!

This sun inhabits a table at a local office/retail building. Makes me smile every time I walk by it.

At my previous job at an aerospace machine shop, the raw materials often consisted of round bar stock in aluminum or steel, that they used a lathe or milling machine to shape into complex parts.

Finally, a circle within a circle from my own backyard.
