Our April Theme is Symmetry for City Daily Photo

Welcome to my City Daily Photo for today and posting to our April Theme of Symmetry.


Symmetry

It's what we see at a glance.




Sometimes nature made other times by man.

 

Symmetry: The quality of being made up of exactly similar parts facing each other or around an axis. Correct or pleasing proportion of the parts of a thing. Similarity or exact correspondence between different things.



"Beauty is rather a light that plays over the symmetry of things than that symmetry itself."

Plotinus




Why does it seem nature embodies so much symmetry?

Simply, most objects in nature are symmetrical like flower petals, crystal patterns of a snowflake, or a hexagonal honeycomb.




"In harmony there is nothing strange. And life is a vast harmony. I've understood this. But you see the molded whimsy of a frieze on a portico keeps us from recognizing sometimes, the symmetry of the whole."

Vladimir Nabokov







 "There are patterns which emerge in one's life, circling and returning anew, an endless variation of a theme."

Jacqueline Carey





and a close up below.





"The smallest of actions is always better than the noblest of intentions."
Robin Sharma




Break the silence beat the drums.




Seeing all life in perfect symmetry lost within a tree.
 


"Don't confuse symmetry with balance."
Tom Robbins






Meet Bullseye the Target Dog.
 




"Why do we delight in seeing perfectly round blubs of many colors all dressed in glitter and never seem to have quite enough of them hanging around?" 




"Take the stones people throw at you and use them to build a monument."

Robin Sharma

and 

"Give out what you most want to come back."


Thank you for stopping in.

Take good care of you.
