A Futuro house, or Futuro Pod, is a round, prefabricated house designed by Finnish architect Matti Suuronen, of which fewer than 100 were built during the late 1960s and early 1970s. The shape, reminiscent of a flying saucer, and the structure's airplane hatch entrance has made the houses sought after by collectors. The Futuro is composed of fiberglass-reinforced polyester plastic, polyester-polyurethane, and poly(methyl methacrylate), measuring 4 metres (13 feet) high and 8 metres (26 feet) in diameter.
Small, low-branched tree with large, saucer-shaped flowers. The fragrant, early-spring blossoms are white shaded with light to deep pink or purplish-pink. Big, broad leaves are dark green, and the smooth bark is silvery-gray. Medium- to fast-growing, good pollution tolerance. Likes moist, deep, acid soil and full sun.

This is from my archives taken in 2021. This year, this species, "Saucer Magnolia" all got premature and died as we had cold spell at the end of March. There were 2 HUGE trees of such in my area, which budded, but, were killed as a result.

Digital compositions.
Title: Saucer Composition.
Exploring combinations of forms, colours, solid and liquid appearances, using superpositions of two or more images. Minimal alteration of light, contrast and colour.
Original photographs of iced-up puddles on the earth; stone walls, colourful walls of houses, bark, tree trunks, patterns on the earth.
This evening the clouds formed flying saucers.
We waited for the hovercraft to land
Wind blew away the evidence, again.
I looked out the widow at our son's house and saw these three flying saucers hovering in the sky. I guess they were checking out the neighborhood.
Thought I'd post another shot of the business end of a saucer hibiscus, showing the pistil and stamens, with clusters of anthers. More anthers are opened here, exposing what I presume are individual pollen grains, or they could be microsporangia, which develop into pollen grains. Not the greatest image, I had to keep the ISO high to have a decent shutter speed, so quality is suffering.
This was my test photo for this week's Macro Mondays, an uncooked egg yolk nestled in a white saucer to give the appearance of the albumen being fully cooked. Not the best of the various egg photos I took but I liked it.
This week I have learned that an uncooked egg yolk is not an easy subject and outside in the heat an egg yolk soon starts to cook.
I am desperately trying to refrain from egg puns......
HMM!
Macro Mondays: Egg
We always called these 'Flying Saucers' when I was a child but when I bought these ones recently, they were called 'Sherbert filled Wafers'...I prefer 'Flying Saucers'

Sometimes I make unnecessary extra work for myself , as has been the case today and yesterday.
I thought I would force myself to have another go at conquering Layers in my PSP. Looked at videos first, but got fed up having to stop and start to make notes every couple of seconds.
Decided it would be easier to find written tutorial to print out , but that was no good either. I always find when following instructions that my screen layouts, lists and icons never seem to exactly match theirs and I'm left floundering and frustrated [ I thought I was doing this for relaxation and fun]....
Gave up on that and decided it might be easier to use a texture overlay , or underlay. So I took some shots of my own 'bokeh' effects plus several separate shots of a mini cup [ Just over 1" tall]
and saucer to amalgamate.
Well, I got myself in the same sort of mess with that too, so I abandoned ship .
Talk about fed up! What I need is a real person showing me what to do .... but alas that is highly unlikely ever to happen. [No suggestions about joining a camera club, classes etc please]
I've decided it's easier for me to do as much as I can with the actual camera after all - and it was much more relaxing and fun too. I'd rather fiddle around with f numbers, depth of field, lighting etc ...
But I keep seeing the lovely work that other photographers post here and oh how I hanker after doing more creative stuff with Layers and Textures. Ha ha - the grass is always greener I s'pose!
