Summer retains vestiges of verdant patterns, defiant even as it wanes.

A contact took a photograph of trees and called it 'Lace'... I was inspired to take this by his image! Thank you MikMih

It was warm today, so we took a beach break. (No swimming involved though.)

At Kew. What I like about this one is the way the flower has devised a sort of insect shape above the centre, most visible in the top flower.

Give light a second chance.

Another angle of interesting sand patterns. Low tide leaves these designs by nature behind - San Felipe (Baja) on the Sea of Cortez.

ABSTRACT.

Hi guys, hope you're all going well. Haven't checked into Flickr for awhile as I've had a bit on. Anyway, here's some hawk shots I took last week (as always, no need to comment).

Just 15 seconds of patterns in the chaos.

Could make a good desktop background. Or put it on repeat and hypnotize yourself. :)

in our culture of busyness and distraction, important things get lost: compassion, creativity, and presence. when i'm in a rush or lost in thoughts, i more easily box people into "other." but when i pause, i see our interconnection. it's not my pain or your pain, it's just pain. i can breathe in the collective pain, and breathe out love, acceptance, and compassion—compassion for myself, for friends, for strangers; compassion for the world.

This was taken in March on Glassilaun Beach near Clifden in Co. Galway. I was struck by the fantastic patterns in the sand, which so closely resembled trees it was quite amazing.

Frost nuts n bolts rust.

I loved these twisting spiral patterns I found while exploring the Raleigh Arboretum this summer. I am always amazed by what nature can create.

This is one image in a series I'm shooting on parking decks ... shapes and forms, light and shadow play, mood and atmosphere. Some images are minimalist; others representational; still others abstract. To see more in the series click Parking Deck Series

This moth has been hanging around for a few days. I’ve taken many shots of this moth and chose this one here. I’m trying to look it up with several ID references and I guess I haven’t searched enough.

I hope everybody enjoys this and would love to know if anyone have seen this and happy to receive any feedback.
