This is a Salsify seed. It is looks like a large dandelion seed and grows wild. I brought it home, stood it in a vase, added a bit of light to highlight the pattern. This seed at the widest measures 1.5 inches in diameter. I did make an adjustment to contrast in post production.
The wonderful contrast of frozen river ice over a bed of colourful rocks on the River Etive, Glencoe, Scotland.
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.
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
On a hot hike in the Valley of Fire State Park today when this little guy came crawling out of a hole. Must have just got out of bed because he just sat and watched me crawl closer and closer taking pictures as I went. He finally had enough and wandered off. Happy Bastille Day
Another kind of ice flower. Does anyone else see a large flower in there? These patterns formed as the lake began to thaw. We went from a week of frigid weather to a spring-like day yesterday.

The daphne usually starts blooming in January, but this winter the flowers couldn’t stand up to the weather we’ve had. Turning brown before they’re even fully open.
First 20 of my 100X project, Patterns in Nature.
I know the calendar still says winter, but I'm moving on to springtime folks!
On tour of the Lower Antelope Canyon. In the Navajo Nation Reservation area in LeChee, Arizona, United States.
Lichen reproductive organs - apothecia- are round and occur in great profusion on the body of this lovely yellow lichen. While not a regular pattern per se the profusion of roundness is the pattern of nature seen in many lichens. This one was on a fallen branch at Cardinia Reservoir on our extremely wet weekend. Possibly a Xanthoria species. Sometimes these fruiting bodies are called fairy cups.
Lichens, or lichenised fungi, are organisms made up of a fungus and one or more algae or a cyanobacterium in a symbiotic relationship. Australia's has lots of algae and I once worked, many years ago, with one of Australia's well known lichenologists!
CHAMAEROPS HUMILIS.
La pianta della Palma Nana o più comunemente Cefaglione è un'entità estremamente rara allo stato spontaneo, dall'enorme valore naturalistico: rappresenta l'unica specie di palma che cresce spontanea sulle coste continentali dell'Europa, testimone vivente di una flora di tipo tropicale, ora completamente scomparsa, che all'inizio dell'era Terziaria (circa 65 milioni di anni fa) era diffusa in tutta l'Europa meridionale grazie a condizioni climatiche completamente differenti dalle attuali.
E' una pianta legnosa a tronco poco elevato, 0.5 - 2 metri, coperto dalle guaine fogliari, portamento bulbiforme o più comunemente contorto (negli esemplari coltivati invece è eretto e può arrivare anche a 10 m d'altezza). Foglie grandi, sempreverdi, coriacee, lamina palmata 40-70 cm, ricorda un ventaglio, picciuolo legnoso lungo 20-40 cm, spinoso al margine.

I am very lucky to have a sister in law who keeps Peafowl. They are very tame and whilst she was feeding them I was able to get very close and get this shot whilst he was displaying for the Peahens, although when he turned I and the camera nearly got tangled up in his feathers. The image is approx 2" x 3" . This year she has had another 8 chicks in total. I would love to have a couple but hubby says NO and I don't think my neighbours would appreciate the noise they make!!!!!
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.

Bangalore is called the Garden City of India. This is because Hyder Ali, the ruler of Mysore, liked the cool climate of Bangalore and so planned a garden that was named as Lalbagh. It is also still very green, despite continuous development.

"All around us, we see a great diversity of living things, from the microscopic to the gigantic, from the simple to the complex, from bright colors to dull ones. One of the most intriguing things we see in nature is patterns. We tend to think of patterns as sequences or designs that are orderly and that repeat. But we can also think of patterns as anything that is not random.
For example, we recognize the spots on a giraffe as a pattern, but they're not regular, nor are any of the spots the same size or shape. However, other patterns are orderly as is seen in the symmetry of a sea star or a snowflake."
