Hyles euphorbiae (Linnaeus, 1758)

I found this pattern on a log in the woods. I guess they were made by bugs while tree was still bark on the trunk.

Looking back a bit on 2014, I came across this set of little paintings that I did as part of an exercise with my students.

The beach last week was full of debris after the wild weather, it makes for fascinating sand patterns.

This is a close-up photo of patterns in thin ice in a shallow channel beside the river.

I went to a small art exhibition called Floribunda recently. It had a number of paintings, floral dresses and a row of flowers entombed in clear resin. Included was this interesting NO painting which I didn't take the details of but was rather beautiful.

For the Mosaic Montage Monday theme of pattern mixing. Included is an overlay texture of dots and dashes. A pattern imposed by man.

www.ngv.vic.gov.au/exhibition/floribunda/

"The exhibition Floribunda, a major partnership between the National Gallery of Victoria and Bunjil Place, is an intoxicating larger-than-life mashup of floral imagery, design and motif drawn exclusively from the NGV Collection. Through its ‘Wunderkammer’ style of display, Floribunda celebrates and reimagines the nature and significance of one of Australia’s most important collections. Including Decorative Arts, Fashion and Textiles, Painting, First Nations Australia and Pacific Art, the selection of works spans multiple histories, cultures and art forms. Featuring poignant still life paintings, couture embellished with swirls of floral pattern, and objects lavishly adorned with buds and blooms, Floribunda connects human experience with the beauty and poetic symbolism of flowers."

This is a photo of sand ripple patterns at Clam Harbour Beach. I love how wind blown lighter toned sand has highlighted the patterns.

One of my favorite things about balsam flowers is that they grow on the carcass of the previous year.

I'm sure there's a lesson to be had here, but who knows what it is.

Pattern

This is a photo of patterns in a rock cliff at Mavillette Beach.

This is a close-up photo of ice pattens in a shallow stream flowing across Clam Harbour Beach.

Loved the pattern the water made as the sun shone down into the Yellow Breeches Creek at Yellow Breeches park.

As the roses lift there heads to catch

A glimes of my demise

You'll be throwing lies around

Like ocean waves throw down in tides

They are breaking on my shore

And the rescue team wont save me now

Cuse im out too far

So il waste these nights for a while

But i'll be holding onto you forever

This is were my heart is cold and dark

As i read the words you wrote last night

The butterflies are creeping throught my spine. . . ^ . ^ . . .
