A sampling of the mini terraces at the edge of the Grand Prismatic Spring in Yellowstone National Park. I liked this perspective as the mirror-like water reflected both the blue sky and white clouds as well as the tree line of the adjacent hills.

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.

Unusual black & yellow stripe petunias nestle upon a variegated hosta leaf in my back yard.

the starling murmuration last night at Tring Reservoirs was very different from my first experience when the birds were right overhead. Instead they were on the horizon throwing a variety of shapes which produced an amazing series of images that, being human, we were all trying to assign specific objects to - this one looks like a flying squirrel (or some spreadeagled mammal) to me..

A cold front is coming our way😌

Macro Mondays Theme: Patterns in Nature

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.

Another vine growing wild in my woodland garden.
