The rose protects itself from being eaten with its thorns, which are arranged in an irregular pattern.
My contribution to ”Crazy Tuesday” on theme ”Patterns in nature”
I decided to try to split my 100x project (patterns in nature) equally between the 4 seasons. These are my 25 photos for Winter, now I'm moving on to springtime folks! I guess this means I'll be finishing at the end of Autumn.
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
The wonderful contrast of frozen river ice over a bed of colourful rocks on the River Etive, Glencoe, Scotland.
First 20 of my 100X project, Patterns in Nature.
I know the calendar still says winter, but I'm moving on to springtime folks!
A selection of my favourite intimate landscape images focusing on patterns in nature. All the images here were taken along a small stretch of the North East coastline between Seaton Sluice and Whitley Bay.
I love shooting the coast, it’s such a dynamic place to work, with the ebb and flow of the tides constantly shifting the sand, leaving intricate traces of the forces of Mother Nature on the landscape.
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.
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!!!!!
An early morning visit to the banks of Rydal Water, the mist was low and I particularly liked the wispy reflections created.
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.

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.

The transient beauty of the coast is intricately intertwined with the captivating patterns that emerge in the sand, crafted by the relentless forces of wind and wave. These natural sculptors shape the shoreline, leaving behind ephemeral masterpieces.
As the tides ebb and flow, they orchestrate a delicate dance with the sand. With each advancing wave, the water gently caresses the shore, carrying particles of sand along its journey. As the wave recedes, it relinquishes its cargo, depositing the grains in a meticulous arrangement. This cyclical process, repeated countless times, creates intricate patterns that stretch along the coastline.
The patterns left behind by the retreating tide mimic the ebb and flow of life itself. Swirling ripples, reminiscent of a miniature desert landscape, emerge as the water recedes, their graceful curves and undulating lines transforming the beach into a living work of art. The patterns are at once orderly and chaotic, with intricate geometrical formations intermingling with whimsical curves and asymmetrical shapes.
The wind, a silent artist in its own right, adds its touch to the sculpting process. As it sweeps across the coast, it whispers secrets to the sand, coaxing it to dance in its invisible embrace. The wind's gentle touch lifts fine particles from the beach, carrying them aloft in an intricate ballet. It sculpts the sand into delicate ripples, resembling the soft undulations of fabric.
The interplay between the wind and the tide results in an ever-changing landscape. The patterns shift and evolve, shaped by the combined forces of these elemental sculptors. Ripples become miniature mountains, rising and falling in a transient topography that mirrors the larger contours of the surrounding coast. Each gust of wind and every advancing or receding wave leaves its mark, etching new patterns and erasing old ones, in an eternal cycle of creation and destruction.
These ephemeral patterns serve as a reminder of the impermanence of existence and the transient nature of beauty, as each passing moment alters the landscape, erasing what once was and creating something new. The sands become a canvas for the symphony of time, a tangible reflection of the ever-changing nature of our lives.
The beauty of these fleeting patterns lies not only in their visual allure but also in the emotions they evoke. They inspire a sense of wonder and awe, inviting us to pause and appreciate the intricate designs that nature creates with such effortless grace. The patterns speak of the interconnectedness of all things, the harmonious interplay between the elements, and the constant flux that defines our existence.
In these patterns of nature, we find a profound lesson: that life, like the shifting sands, is ever-changing, and that true beauty lies not in permanence but in the appreciation of the fleeting moments that grace our journey.

Down at the water’s edge alchemy is manifesting. The forces of nature fuse, leaving their traces on the landscape. The relentless ebb and flow of the tides work in unison with coastal winds to sculpt complex patterns in the shifting sand. Each one unique, like a human finger print. This transient beauty is lost to the incoming waves, only for the process to repeat itself in an eternal cycle.
"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."

playing with the macro lens in the garden for Macro Mondays patterns in nature
the pattern of the now blooming tiger lilies quite distinct
I don't know what formed that halo of light at the top. If I knew I would make it happen again, because I think it looks really cool:) There's usually a small flare where the sun hits it.
I'm learning a lot about ice bubbles this week:)

We do have birds in our garden. In most instances they get on pretty well together - there is a bit of squabbling and sometimes a bird of prey flies through. Sometimes a farm cat causes some upset, but not when it sees me - I'm the danger then!
So how did the pheasant lose one of its tail feathers?
Found some time back and kept as a possible photo prop, it's a very battered feather. Perhaps it's just a natural lose because there were no others on the grass the morning I found it.
This is only a portion of the feather because its over 24 inches long. So the real challenge this week was to restrict myself to the view of 3 inches, getting as much feather in as possible, and getting as much in focus as I could. After several attempts I reverted to my little 'point & shoot' camera, and cropped the result, It's lit with just one light.
