Photo Challenge: Circles

Time for a new Brenda Photo Challenge! The theme is Circles. Our current challenge hostess, Jeanette of Net on the Net, picked the theme. Thank you, Jeanette!

The Capitol building in Colonial Williamsburg is quite impressive. The structure has two round-shaped wings, each with large circular windows. We enjoyed a harpsichord concert one magical evening, with these round windows as a backdrop to the musician playing the role of Peter Pellum, an 18th century composer. Important history was made at this Capitol building. On May 15, 1776, Virginia’s legislators unanimously adopted a resolution declaring their independence from England, two months before the Continental Congress in Philadelphia adopted the Declaration of Independence.

The photo was taken at f/7.1, 1/100 second, and ISO 200.

These canteens hang in Colonial Williamsburg’s warehouse for military equipment and gunpowder. Known as the Magazine, this building dates back to 1716. Over the years, it has been used as a market place, church, and storage space for military supplies during the Revolutionary War, the War of 1812, and the Civil War.

The camera settings were f/4.8, 1/13 second, and ISO 800.

I am making some lavender sachets and decided to use fabric yo-yos for embellishment. I picked an assortment from my fabric scrap pile, mostly consisting of hand-dyed Bali cotton, and quickly stitched up this lovely pile! Don’t these bright colors make your heart sing?
