Circles all around us
Circles are all around us, take for example the human body. The human body is comprised of millions of circles from our blood cells, the blood vessels that cells travel through to our shape, human hair is comprised of layers of circles, the medulla, cortex and the cuticle. The clothing that we wear although it does not appear to be a circle it is made of nothing but circles the thread or fiber to make an article of clothing is in itself a circle, the opening that goes over you body (yet again a circle) is a circle as well as the openings for your head, arms and legs, depending on the article. If you cut your finger off the shape is that of a circle the same for all parts of the human body. I can not even begin to list all the circles in the human body. Almost every thing that touches our live including our lives is comprised of a circle, in the molecules that make up almost anything that touches our lives. Just in the chore of moving is a circle, you pack your things put them in a truck unload them off of a truck and unpack them, the circle starts all over again if you decide to move at a later point in time. The point is is that our world is made up of millions and millions of circles which when in actuality a point is a circle. Ha
Below you will find a few examples of circles some I created and some I found in a google search.

Circles from the crop
Hummingbird Crop Circle appears in a barley field in Whiltshire.
Ancient Mayan Crop Circle Symbol - Said to be sign of impending 'Apocalypse' - Silbury Hill, Whiltshire.
Circles of circles from the Crop
I chose these images from UFO Reports because they most remind me of my Indian heritage. What I find fascinating is that when they are created is that when they are created the plant of the field that they are in is not harmed the stalk of the plant is merely bent keeping the plant healthy. One other thing as I look at these pictures that fascinates me is that the images or shapes that are created are created with a circle inside the circle. you can see it best in the hummingbird image above.
