While I ponder this week’s WP Photo Challenge, I’ll begin with a circle of green I came across in S’s garden the other day.
Just a miracle of nature – the unfurling tip of a Bird’s Nest Fern (Asplenium).

An inherited itch to wander …
I would like to see more of this plant too. Nice read on ‘geometry’.
Garden posts coming up!
Will look forward to it!
I also love the way they begin with circles & unfurl. & i’ve just seen you have a departure date. Sending you a virtual hug.
Thanks mate! I was sort of hoping the countdown would move from months to weeks, but not yet, it seems!
It will be weeks all too soon! & I’ve just realized your leaving date & my submission date are the same! Good luck to both of us!
Ooooh! Good luck Keira – really, section it out and pace yourself – less than three months after all this time, you can do it girl
& having just had a meeting with my supervisor who is so far impressed with my progress (whereas I am not) I am feeling a wee bit more positive
That’s wonderful news!
. 
wow!!!!!!!!!!
It’s great, isn’t it? Glad you liked it too
Geometry… my favourite subject… being a Land Surveyor, every where you look it is all just geometry… wonderful…
A land surveyor? How interesting that must have been. Why weren’t girls told of such interesting things to do with their lives?
There were two women that went through varsity with me and neither ended up practicing… wonder why…??
At least they got that far! I fear that though I received a great education – and the few of us who knew what we wanted to do with our lives went on to have stellar careers – I was among the last of the generations of women who were really just expected to do a bit of this or that till marriage and child-rearing. Ooops … I must have fallen through the cracks!
That’s very cool!

Isn´t nature wonderfully clever?
The best, Marianne
The unfurling of anything is an interesting time… further developments anticipated
Yes – full of potential

The unfurling fits the theme of 2 months in a sad way…reaching out, for other pastures..
You!
Beginning of circle — what a beautiful way to begin!
I always think of life like that Amy – there’s no beginning or end …

Lovely entry for the theme.
You’re too kind ad
What a colour!
Glorious … yes!
Circles are my favorite shape; all soft, no hard lines. Lovely photo.
Nice, VERY nice.
Thanks, thanks very much
This reminded me so much of the theories about the perfection of the pattern of growth and the Fibonacci sequences, which predict things like the way snailshells form a perfect curve, that I had to go back and do a little bit of reading…… and then entirely coincidentally a friend made a comment about a photo I had taken referring to the Golden Section, and there I was back with Fibonacci. I know it doesn’t work for everyone, but something about the fact that there is a discernible mathematical pattern to nature fills me with wonder.
Ah … Fibonacci sequences and the like – way, way out of my league! My ‘oldest’ friend in Switzerland is mad for them and picks numbers up everywhere we go – it’s beyond me, Rowena!
But I do know of that perfect snail’s shell shape – and understand what you mean about the wonder of nature and mathematical patterns. Did you see the post of the green cauliflower that’s pure fractals? Beautiful …

Wonderful image…And a very intelligent interpretation of the subject, I must say!
Of course!!!!
Gorgeous spectacular picture!!!
One of those miracles, Nicole – i was tickled pink at how it turned out
It is perfect and beautiful…
Thank you for checking in during the Hurricane… your kind wishes were appreciated!

I thought it was a starfruit! What a gorgeous lime green!
It’s close to my ‘favourite’ colour – that vivid limey green of new paddy!
