Sunlight on the counter, as seen through a water glass. Is this refraction, or is there another name for it?

circles

Sometimes, when I was small, the family would come home at night from a day-long road trip, which usually left me groggy and unwilling to get out of the car right away. As I came to, I'd notice blurry little circles in the corner of my eye, seemingly caused by some interaction of the floodlight on the garage, my glasses, and my own eyeball. These circles would dart left and right as I darted my own eye; they flattened as I squinted my eye; the little granules inside the circles swam about like magnified bacteria. I would play with these circles and listen to the think think think of the old station wagon as it cooled down before I eventually got bored and went inside the house.
...Point being, the circles in the photo above look exactly like the ones I played with in my childhood.

Electron micrograph of cells sloughing off the back of a rare asturian bottle-headed beetle?
...Or grainy slices of wheat bread?
YOU DECIDE.

Submitted to Self Portrait Challenge for a second week of patterns.
Well, technically, I think this is their third or fourth week, but it's my second submission.
I'll get out of this 35mm thing soon.

35mm fun.
Side note: Crayola washable markers don't wash off as easily as you'd think.

The image, which I ended up making a print of, is clearer in person.
This was a holy-shit-I-need-to-use-up-my-roll-in-the-next-7-minutes shot of the roof of a smoking gazebo around campus.
