Friday My Town Shoot-out / Circles

Last week as I noted this topic roll into position I thought OH NO, N Friburgo doesn’t have any circles. What am I going to do? But just like every week when I say this, when I start paying attention I usually see things I have never noticed before. I have been seeing circles everywhere, everywhere I went that I always go….

  1. That photo with the colourful chairs, at first I thought they were chairs at a shopping mall or airport. Then I saw the seat belts. having to the Theme parks in Australia, am I seeing what I am seeing? Chairs that will shoot up the pillar and drop down very fast.

    My hydringeas, having been drastically cut back by my neighbour, has just one plant with flowers. I hope he hasn't killed the rest.

    You surprised yourself with so many circles. Great job.

  2. Ann, that was fast - I hadn't even finished fiddling with the header. Hope you saw the one I decided to keep. That is a ride for little kids in the shopping center, I took it yesterday from up on the top floor of the parking and today it was gone - so my timing was good. I have about 15 more shots that I didn't include - enough is enough....

  11. Nice one, Ginger! I like the last pair, inside and out. And I'd really like some pie...

  12. Kerry, those are addictive balls of sugar, they look bigger in the close up than they are for real... about the size of ping pong ball - about two fattening bites worth.
    they also sell chocolate balls, chocolate covered strawberries that sort of thing. Brasilians love their sweets.

  13. CHEFE (by the way in portuguese chefe means the boss!) bite your tongue, I have NOTHING to do but play with the header on my blog - funny I put the peacock up for birds, and received no comment - took a picture of my header when screen saver came on with its bubbles and am getting positive wows! LOL
