Circles in Nature

Challenge #46 in the Life in the Natural World series. Hosted by RuthC.

Challenge has finished

In this challenge, show us circles formed by nature. This might be a flower, a mushroom, a leaf, or perhaps something formed by wind or water. Macro and close-up shots welcome. Subjects should be taken outside in their natural environment, not inside under studio lights. No balls or spheres, or spirals this time; they will have their own challenges later. No shots of the moon, (which is a sphere.) SIZE: 1,600px MAXIMUM ON LONGER SIDE.

NO photos from previous DPR challenges can be entered in this challenge.
Two (2) entries per person allowed, but each entry should be of a different circular subject.
Encouraging comments about entries are welcome.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE! If you enter the challenge, vote on other entries! This will hopefully counteract the sandbaggers' votes which spoil the genuine results for everyone's entries.
ENTRANTS WHO HAVE ENTERED NUMEROUS CHALLENGES, AND HAVE NEVER VOTED, OR HAVE A VERY LOW VOTING SCORE RELATIVE TO THEIR ENTRIES, EXPECTING OTHERS TO DO THEIR WORK FOR THEM MAY BE DQ'D. I don't like Free-loaders or Free Riders in my challenges.
Sandbagging, and vote solicitation will cause DQ'ing of entries, don't even contemplate it!
Entrants or voters caught cheating will be unwelcome in my future challenges.
