"Summer afternoon—summer afternoon; to me those have always been the two most beautiful words in the English language." ~Henry James
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 world of colours on the palette remaining...wandering..on canvases still emerging. ~Wassily Kandinsky
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.

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.
On tour of the Lower Antelope Canyon. In the Navajo Nation Reservation area in LeChee, Arizona, United States.
These thirteen shots (#1075 through #1128), were made between the 9th and 16th of November, 2013.
After all those wonderful locations in Europe, I was desperate to see photo opportunities in Lakeview, Oregon, where I was living at the time. So, this is an odd assortment.
Just a simple squiggle between letters can denote ownership or belonging to, a missing letter, an indication of something being said or quoted, or if it falls to the bottom of the line - it becomes something else entirely - a natural pause in all that is being said. Sometimes misplaced and misused ... it can suggest so much without making a sound.

Our Daily Challenge ... hidden gems.
This beautiful male Sacred Kingfisher was back today, and while I watched, he caught a grub and a largish insect in my garden and sat on the gate while he ate them.
Kingfishers have long beaks and tails and a small body. From the tip of the beak to end of the tail they are 19 -22 cm long, but they are very similar in shape to their much larger relative, the Kookaburra.
According to my bird book they live in all parts of Australia but no-one I asked has ever seen one in the wild. I remember seeing them in the country as a child but this is a rare sighting just here so this combined with their iridescent opal colours makes me think they are "hidden gems"
