Macro Mondays, July 15, 2019: “Patterns in Nature”

Patterns in the sand at Martinique Beach created by the tide and retreating surf.

A view of the tucked wing feathers of an Eastern Bluebird. As with other recent feather images like this I applied the PS oil paint filter to soften the edges and create more of a flowing look in the details.

Something new in my garden.

Mon - Jul 15 2019 - Theme - "Patterns In Nature"

My original choice for this week's theme was the random patterns on a natural stone called agate ... but just a few hours ago today , I happened to see this withering leaf that just held its pride and glory as it shined bright in the sun... with the sunlight as natural backlight the brown patches looked beautiful to me .. I shot this on my phone and decided this image to be my final entry for the group even though the background is noisy... this is the underside of the leaf..

The leaf has double patterns - the repeated patterns from the veins and the random patterns from the brown patches....You can also see how the texture varies between the green and brown parts..

Again - this is a highly cropped image to meet the size requirement of the group.

Editing : Crop, HDR (in snapseed) - I tried healing the background but it didn't work.

Beautiful patterns in the granite gravel chippings making up a new lakeside path

Were looking at how the sun shone through some of our Peace Lily's and thought it made some interesting lines and shadows. Yeah, alright I was bored. I’m still waiting for the flowers to come out on these plants.

Thanks for visiting ;-)

I was on a boardwalk photographing yellow flag irises at the lake's edge (Cobb's Pond, Gander) when a snipe landed on the wet ground close to me. Having such a close view allowed me to appreciate its distinctive and varied feather patterns.

I’ve been talking daily walks in this neighborhood for about 30 years. I know the shapes of every tree as well as I know the back of my own hand. I’m always happy to see the the bare winter branches again.
