I mentioned recently that I've been noticing round shapes in nature this year - noticing them more, I suppose. They are the primary shape in our universe, from every atom to every star, so I don't hesitate to use the description "sacred circle", even though it may cause some to draw incorrect assumptions as to what I may believe in.
In my first attempt at making this triptych I had a frog's eye as the third shot (and the sun in the middle). But it was too busy, so I swapped it out for a shot of a "Blood Moon" from 2017. The other two are more recent. I photographed the sun, including sunspots, on a smoky day last month when the sky was grey and filled with the taste of distant, charred wood. The sunflower, its ray florets fallen and lost, is from a week ago and seemed to fit nicely between the two celestial bodies. When in doubt, I tend to go for the graphics.
