An interesting antique purse that had a unique pattern on it that I thought would be worth posting for this week's Macro Monday challenge. It is made up of old shoe strings braided into a pattern.

Taken with a Carl Zeiss Jena Tessar 50mm 3.5 on an extension tube, on a Canon SL1 camera.

Nature never ceases to amaze me. This rock in a mixed spruce/fir forest on the Maine coast is covered with lichens of various shapes and colors.

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

Very exciting for me since I had never written a pattern of any kind before. This particular one is entitled "Fairytale Mushroom Cottage" ~

this was the 6th of 7 pincushions to debut in Quilt Fabric Delights - Pincushion of the Month Club in Australia! Thanks Sarah for letting me be a part of this fun adventure!

some of the rock patterns found the in the Murchison River canyon in Kalbarri, Western Australia are quite spectacular... you can see the nature's creation and artistry at its best... this particular spot attracted my attention for quite a while, when we were walking through the canyon...

The walls of an old railway tunnel (now used by cyclists and pedestrians) reveal their patterns in a mix of light from overhead lamps and some daylight intrusion at one of the tunnel openings.

Nature creates particular patterns

One of my phals. Like many, these were my "starter" orchids. When the first one rebloomed, I got another, and then another, then stepped out on a limb and got a Nobile-type dendrobium, and on and on it went. I am now a full blown orchid addict!

Can't judge functionality, but aesthetically a good example of using patterns in architecture (even the flat facade, but particularly the cylinder tower)
