Both Saturday Photohunts: Joy and Circular
When I saw that the themes for the two separate Saturday Photohunts were Joy and Circular, I thought of someplace that it's a joy for me to explore which has circular details like the happy faces on the sculpture below.
All of these shots were taken at the North Carolina Botanical Garden at UNC in Chapel Hill NC.
Looking through my photo archives I picked shots spanning a four year period.
The shot above and below were taken a year apart. The cat must belong to someone who works there since I spotted him outside the same circular area a year apart.
In case you think a cat can be trained to stay out of the rest of the garden, on another visit I spotted the cat jumping into one of the planters for a little joy away from the circle.
It's hard not to feel joy when looking at the sculpture below. I think his crown is somewhat circular.
I find it a joy to spot the circular reflection in the water below.
For a chess playing gardener the set below would be a joy and I spot some circular tables as well as the pieces having circular bottoms.

I can also imagine and feel the joy from these relax places with circular pattern.
Nice one~
Mine is up too... :)
I could totally spend a whole day here. What a lovely spot. I especially enjoyed the chess set. I would love to have that in my backyard :)
Happy long weekend. I hope you have Monday off.
Carver, these are such great photos. I love all the circular and cool things you found (and the cat too)! I still haven't visited those gardens though it's on my list. I hope to get over there this spring.
Happy weekend!
You have amazing photo archives Carver! I feel joy whenever I visit your blogs -- for sure today and definitely circular here too.
Awesome find for circulars. ^_^

great combo for both themes. the sculptures of happy faces make me smile and i love the chess set.
Great job of combining the two..I only did one....
I am totally in Love with that first photo. Instant smile on my face :D
Great selection of photos, Carver. I particularly like the one at the very top of your entry and the one with the circular reflection in the water. :)
What a very nice interpretation of both themes and I really had my joy with the cat, lol !
a lovely collection. the birdbath is my favorite--such delicious sunshine.
I also like how you combined both themes in your photos. The garden is beautiful.
Have a fabulous weekend.

You came up with so many for circular. I couldn't come up with a thing.
Beautiful photos!
Have a great week-end!

Oh, wow, gotta love a place with a resident cat, and you found so many circles, Carver. This is great. I really enjoyed this post.

I needed that boost of sunshine! I do wonder if every Botanic garden has a resident cat; Edinburgh's botanics have one too :)
