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.

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

Crazy Tuesday theme, Patterns in natures. This whole frame is patterns. From the green to the dead leaves eaten by ants to the bokeh in the back. Thanks for getting me outside. HCT
Bark has always been something that I like taking photos of. Today I took a little walk and found this piece of art on a tree. So this is my contribution to this weeks Macro Mondays.
A walk in Manesty Woods in the Lake District saw the beginning of the fall of autumnal leaves. This arrangement had fallen on a bed of lichen.
Happy Macro Mondays
This week's theme: Patterns in Nature.
When I read this week's theme, I immediately thought of my Maranta Plant (sometimes called the prayer plant). From the first time I saw it in the florist shop, I was fascinated by the design on the leaves.

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
HMM-- the theme for today, 7/15, is "patterns in nature" and this is one possibility for posting :)

Macro Monday's 15-07-2019 theme this week is "Patterns in nature"
I thought this Starfish (Sea Star) skeleton washed up on a beach looked nice.
This image shows the top section and five calcareous segments protruding upwards.
Most Sea Stars as scientists would like them to be called have five arms, they are simple sea animals lacking a brain.
They have calcareous plates that move with one another to form flexible joints.
The mouthpiece is located in the center of the underside.
They eat using their stomach that leaves the mouth and surrounds the prey, then returns to the mouth ..... gross.
Sea star's have a 35 year lifespan, and have no blood either.
There are 2000 different species of Sea star.
Oh' yes the Sea star can regenerate and grow back a lost limb, but it would take around a year to achieve.
They only live in saline seas, not fresh water.
HMM .... everyone
Love & Peace 💕
Many thanks for looking at my images .... Really Appreciated.
When I saw the sky this morning the term mackerel sky came to mind so I googled it. Interesting to learn the names for these clouds formations in other languages: "It is sometimes known as a buttermilk sky, particularly when in the early cirrocumulus stage, in reference to the clouds' "curdled" appearance.[7] In France it is sometimes called a ciel moutonné (fleecy sky); and in Spain a cielo empedrado (cobbled sky);[8] in Germany it is known as Schäfchenwolken (sheep clouds), and in Italy the clouds are known as pecorelli (little sheep)." en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mackerel_sky

Taken for this week's Macro Mondays theme: Patterns in Nature.
I know these leaf shots are kind of cliche here on Flickr but I wanted to do this one for today because leaves are so full of detail and patterns which look like a maze going this way and that way. Around here we have plenty of leaves so it wasn't hard to find one to use.
Thank you for your visits, comments and faves! HMM to all!

For the Macro Mondays challenge "Patterns in Nature" ( July 15th 2019)
Seashells always amaze me. How can so many shells have the same design, patterning, colour and size! Maybe they are as diverse among the seashell world as we are - but to foreign eyes they all look the same ;o)
There's a shot of the seashell in the first comment field, along with the the size-guide I use for MM.
HMM to everyone, and have a great week ;o)
