It's so interesting what nature can do....I've never seen this kind of pattern made out of ice.
Mt. Seymour, North Vancouver.
I think this might be my favorite of the offset squares color variations.
I'm experimenting with color variations of the offset square pattern, as seen here.
I'm looking for a certain look, and I haven't found it yet, but I think I'm getting closer. I'm pretty limited in my color selection, for now, which is why everything is white, black, or dark red. :-)
From Geyser Hill boardwalk, Yellowstone.
Silica is dissolved from the underlying Rhyolite by the hot, acidic water and precipitates out as it cools at the surface, forming siliceous sinter and making these intriguing patterns.
It was a cold morning, so the stark white around this hydro-thermal feature is hoar frost.
Folded from one sheet of elephant hide paper scored with a cutting plotter.
Based on a circle packing generated with the help of the great program CirclePack by Ken Stephenson.
The concept was previously explored by Daniel Kwan and Philip Chapman-Bell.

This is a close-up photo of the wood grain patterns in the root of a driftwood tree that suggest an impish pareidolia figure.
"Romanesco broccoli resembles a cauliflower, but is of a light green color and the inflorescence (the bud) has an approximate self-similar character, with the branched meristems making a logarithmic spiral. In this sense the broccoli's shape approximates a natural fractal; each bud is composed of a series of smaller buds, all arranged in yet another logarithmic spiral. This self-similar pattern continues at several smaller levels.
The vegetable is rich in vitamin C, vitamin K, dietary fiber, and carotenoids." from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romanesco_broccoli

Rillensteine patterns are a series of small, somewhat parallel grooves created by slow removal of soluble minerals by aqueous solutions. Typically the surface that displays the pattern is limestone or dolomite, but it could be any hard surface that can dissolve in an appropriate fluid.
This particular rillensteine patterns was imposed upon a carbonate rich volcanic ash lake sediment.
Once exposed to the processes of weathering and erosion at the Earth's surface, rainwater (with carbonic acid) begins to breakdown the carbonate component of the rock. Due to minor fluctuations of the surface of the rock and/or the exposed surface irregularities of the rock, the rock weathers unevenly. Grooves and pits develop. Aided by capillary action, these grooves grow as more of the rock slowly dissolves.

This one just substitutes dark red for the white squares of the previous version. The four red squares are only held in place by gravity; the 9 black squares are actually fastened in with a stud. -- Edit... you can easily fasten the loose squares to a plate behind the pattern, using a 2x2 brick to fit right in.
