Looking forward to the transition from winter to spring. Sadly, I’m pretty sure COVID has a few more surprises in store for us as we head into springtime. But at least we’ll have the spring beauty to focus on.
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

It has been a while since I posted my last ones....catching up now my friends.
This is one from my recent trip with Glen to Moreton Island where we were witnessing a great natural spectacle. Do I really need to say anything here.....just look at this landscape and soak it in. It is a large tidal pool where we enjoyed the silence and absence of civilisation.

Close look at how nature weaves its designs - each seed held in perfect symmetry, waiting for a breath of wind.
Diese Erdpyramiden (Hoodoos) sind ein beeindruckendes Beispiel für selektive Erosion. Der harte Deckstein (Caprock) schützt das darunterliegende, weichere Moränenmaterial vor Regenwasser, während das umliegende Material abgetragen wird. So entstehen diese hohen, nadelartigen Formationen, die wie aus einer anderen Welt wirken.

I have three ceramic ladybirds climbing the pole of my patio. But they represent patterns in nature - spots and halves of the wings.
Multiple exposures in camera for the image. HMMM:))
PAPILIO MACHAON (Iphyclides podalirius) SU FIORE DI LAVANDA.
È una farfalla di grandi dimensioni (mm 64-85). È diffusa in tutta l'Europa con l'eccezione delle zone settentrionali. La farfalla è di colore bianco o giallastro con tipiche linee zebrate (5 o 6), bruno scuro o nere, che partono dall'area costale, più larghe, per raggiungere restringendosi l'area anale; la zona prospiciente il corpo è tendenzialmente scura. Le ali posteriori, anch'esse bianche o giallastre hanno la regione sub marginale di colore nero o bruno scuro con delle lunule di colore azzurro intenso.

Macro Mondays 'patterns in nature' theme.
A Scarlet Tiger Moth, taken at Fishlake Madows nature reserve. You can just see a glimpse of the colour that gives the moth its name at the centre - with its wings spread you would see that the underwings are this vivid colour. It was first for me though it's fairly common in the south.
My moth book says it's forewing measures 22-26mm in length so I estimate the image is no more than 5 cm

One of the sure signs of springtime is when the Camellia Japonicas burst into bloom, bringing forth starbursts of magnificent red, vibrant magenta, soft pink, flaming vermilion and pure white.
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.
These four Camellia Japonica blooms I photographed in the Fitzroy Gardens one bright Friday after work in September last year.
Camellia japonica, known as common camellia, Japanese camellia, or Tsubaki in Japanese, is one of the best known species of the genus Camellia. Sometimes called the rose of winter, it belongs to the family Theaceae. It is the official state flower of Alabama.
Just on the edge of the Melbourne Central Business District\'s formal grid of streets, you will find the beautiful Fitzroy Gardens. A haven of green with avenues of elms, lush rolling lawns and beautiful seasonal plantings the gardens are populated with various buildings and points of interest.
In spring, the central avenues lined with elms have beds of daffodils and jonquils spring up from beneath them. Their beautiful golden yellow and crisp white colours are always a welcome sight when they burst forth for they herald the arrival of spring in Melbourne.
The Fitzroy Gardens was named after Sir Charles Augustus Fitzroy (1796-1858), Governor of New South Wales (1846-1851) and Governor-General of the Australian Colonies (1851-1855). The Gardens have a long history of over 150 years, few other capital cities can boast such a significant garden so close to the City\'s centre. As crown land the City of Melbourne are the custodians to preserve and oversee this magnificent garden, visited by over 2 million local, interstate and international visitors each year, it is one of the major attractions in Melbourne. It features many beautiful statues, a bandstand, the Temple of the Winds, a conservatory and Captain Cook\'s Cottage.
These cheerful little sun-loving drought-tolerant daisies from the Cape dominate the Balcony Mix sown in a big tub this spring with a wide variety of colours.
I used to call them Mesembryanthemum (or something like that) and their scientific name was Mesembryanthemum criniflorum but is now Cleretum bellidiformis
