Today’s 5.7-mile photowalk through Bellingham turned into a quiet scavenger hunt for circles.

I wasn’t chasing landmarks or scenes, just geometry hiding in plain sight. Shot in full color on the Ricoh GRIIIx at 40mm, the walk felt meditative.

Step.
Notice.
Wait.
Click.

I was letting repetition sharpen attention instead of dull it.

Circles kept showing up where I wasn’t looking, pulling my eye off straight lines and into soft curves and little pauses in the city’s constant forward motion.

Abstract without trying to be, the photos became about rhythm and presence as much as shape, a reminder that wonder often lives in the smallest, roundest details.
