This week, we are exploring things that have a round or elliptical shape (circular, cylindrical, or spherical). This is a common shape in nature and in human-made things. It is also common for me to feel a little more rounded after too much good food over the holiday weekend.
As my post title suggests, “well-rounded” can also mean involving or having experience in a wide range of ideas or activities, or in education.
“I enjoy leading a well-rounded life. Believe me, I don’t take it for granted.” ~ Wendy Williams
Round Made By Human Hands
Architecture is a common venue to view objects that are round. The day after Thanksgiving, we visited Spokane’s Riverfront Park, on a sunny but COLD day.
Nature Loves Round
There are plenty of round shapes in nature. Most flowers are circular in shape.
A walk along the Centennial Trail shows Nature’s preference for round shapes.
Home Decor and More
“There are patterns which emerge in one’s life, circling and returning anew, an endless variation of a theme.” ― Jacqueline Carey
Most of you know I love to decorate my home interior. A little Autumn flavor in the round.
Every Autumn on the Sacramento State University campus, the landscapers decorated the ginkgo trees with the fallen leaves in their own circular patterns.
“I wandered with dear Autumn as far as I could go, and in the end, I didn’t leave. I kept her in my soul.” ~ Angie Weiland-Crosby
“God made the world round so we would never be able to see too far down the road.” ~ Karen Blixen
