Circles on the Hearth

Playing around with a basket of fire starters next to our wood stove for today's circle shot. We won't be needing these for a few months!

I was wondering why you would need to be starting fires this time of year! I like the textures in this one and of course all those circles

I thought he been baking. great circles.

[Kathy A]

I thought they were loaves of bread!

[Shutterbug]

At first glance i thought they were creme brûlée. I like how you have them surrounded by lines.

[eDorre]

Intriguing shot! Great textures.

[Diana]

I too thought they were a creme brulee, they look so good ;-)

[Issi Bannerman]

Funny, I thought it was food as well! Super capture of circles within a circle.

[Louise]

Seems everyone is ready to see more food circles from you ;). Like the colours and processing.

[KoalaGardens🐨]

[Joan Robillard]

Wonderful capture

[Wylie]

[Lou Ann]

Circles are everywhere! Great shot.

Fire starters! For one glorious lunchtime moment, I dreamed they were chocolate mousse! Enjoying the circles everywhere on 365 at the moment.

[Nina Ganci]

fire starters? Please do explain a bit more. ours are square blocks that I use. Need to use it for the winter we are in. Would love to learn something new

Oh my goodness you have all made me hungry!!! Thanks so much for your comments- sure made me smile! I think it is the texture that I applied which gave it that "foodie" feeling. I wish I could send some of you in the colder parts of the world some of our warmth! Thanks for putting this one on the PP!

@ninaganci If you can imagine a slightly smaller version of those paper cups they put muffins or cupcakes in, that's the container. What's inside is wax, like candles are made of. You set the cup inside your woodstove with some kindling around it, or well-seasoned wood that can catch fire right away and light it with a match. The wax lights up and the wood catches on fire rather quickly. Using these reduces the amount of kindling you need to start a fire which is nice when you live in a small house like we do!

I've had a long day so I'm heading off to bed- I'll be back to catch up with your pictures tomorrow.

[Kathy]

Nice circles. I to thought they were muffins of some sort.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@randystreat Thank you Kathy! I don't think anyone would enjoy the taste of these!
