It looks like these Balsam root flowers are all facing outwards from a central point, as if they are protecting the centre. It could be because it is evening and the sun has set.
The story behind this photo:
I was walking home on Sunday afternoon when I came across this puddle of water beneath the block opposite to mine. I could see the reflection of my block very clearly in the puddle due to the direction of the light at that particular point in time.
I have always wanted to take a reflection shot and thus I hurried up to grab my camera. My vase of cut flowers was by the doorway and I decided to grab this stalk of Gerbera as well.
I tried out several shots with the Gerbera placed at different positions and shot from multiple angles. Coincidentally, it then started to drizzle and I was finally able to capture this shot of the reflection of my block and the Gerbera in addition to the concentric wavefronts produced by the rain drops on the puddle of water. I named the photo 'Circles of Life' as I hope that this photo is able to subtly represent the life within the housing block community.
Circle of Life
Lebo M., Carmen Twillie
From the day we arrive on the planet
And blinking, step into the sun
There's more to see than can ever be seen
More to do than can ever be done
There's far too much to take in here
More to find than can ever be found
But the sun rolling high
Through the sapphire sky
Keeps great and small on the endless round
It's the circle of life
And it moves us all
Through despair and hope
Through faith and love
Till we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the circle
The circle of life........

"Yesterday a child came out to wonder
Caught a dragonfly inside a jar
Fearful when the sky was full of thunder
And tearful at the falling of a star
And the seasons they go round and round
And the painted ponies go up and down
We're captive on the carousel of time
We can't return we can only look behind
From where we came
And go round and round and round
In the circle game"

Monarchs start to awaken as the morning sun touches them in Point Pelee National Park. We were very lucky to catch them that morning. A few minutes later their numbers dwindled as they flew off to continue their migration to their winter grounds in Mexico.

simple sublimated circle
golden, molten ring,
spread across black satin,
across the limitless dome of the night.
the moon sang,
the stars twinkled,
the darkness embraced them,
lingering, still.

Somehow, editing this image made me want to hear this beautiful song.
I don't think that you will see a Dahlia in such a perfect circle as this one from my friends garden.

I was really fortunate to pass the Calanais (Callanish) stone Circles on the way back to Stornoway Airport recently.
These superbly preserved Neolithic circles predate Stonehenge and were erected around 5000 years ago. They were important sites of ritual activities and probably an astronomical observatory.

Circle Round
Life is a circle round
Birth and death are bound
Joy, laughter, sadness, sorrow
Who knows what happens tomorrow
Life begins with a pain of joy
A little child, a girl or boy
So precious a beginning
To a life full of sinning
Where do we end?
Back to where the Goddess sends
Back to where nature found
Back to the Circle Round.
