The nest is approx. 10-12" high!
This year the FFF+ Group have decided to have a weekly challenge called “Snap Happy”. A different theme chosen by a member of the group each week, and the image is to be posted on the Monday of the week.
This week the theme, “patterns in nature” was chosen by Cheryl, Cheryl - Vickypoint.
My first thought when the theme was announced was how fortunate that I had been in my garden only days before. Taking advantage of the sunny and unseasonably warm autumnal day in my rear garden I had been photographing the leaves of various plants basking in the sunlight. Their patterns were so eye catching.
In this collage, the shot on the left is of a fig leaf from my neighbour’s overhanging tree. The pattern reminds me of an aerial view of a suburban estate with major arterial roads off which come feeder streets from which expands the maze of courts, closes and boulevards that make up the designs of modern housing estate design. The shot on the right shows the beautiful stripes of an aspidistra that used to live in our entrance hall in a jardiniere, but became a bit too large for it.
This is a B&W version of the previously posted photo of mesmerizing reflection patterns on the river. The B&W presentation emphasizes the shape forms in the patterning.
Macro Mondays theme : "Patterns in Nature"
Flowers exhibit some of the nicest patterns found in nature. The Zinnia featured in my photo is one good example. The petals follow a specific pattern for this variety of flowers. And the palette of colors is simply gorgeous. Of course, the flower I chose falls within the 3” guideline.
Thank you everyone for your visits, faves, and kind comments
A venerable oak unfurls its sweeping limbs across the Rock Garden lawn at Muckross Gardens, Killarney National Park. Soft overcast light brings out the bark’s texture, moss and lichen while the stone backdrop and clipped greens keep the focus on the tree’s powerful root flare and branching architecture—a quiet portrait of living sculpture in County Kerry.
