Cold, with brilliant sunshine and a bright blue sky.

never thought how like claws or nails are the adder's (Vipera berus) scales...

5 handsome adders (Vipera berus), 2 of which are especially fine in their breeding colours.

Racking my brains for "Patterns in Nature" for this week's Macro Mondays theme. Looking out of the bathroom window over the garage roof it became obvious which pattern I needed to try and capture.

We have a very artistic snail, who often leaves a small pattern on a tile. I have thought of photographing it before, but decided today was the day. This necessitated hanging out of the small fanlight window with camera held firmly (although we're only on the ground floor, there is quite a drop between house and garage).

Unable to be absolutely certain of dimensions, but I would say this is 3" maximum dimensions, as I was fairly close to the tile.

The weather started out challenging on our 5th day, so why not head to the beach?!

The patterns in this dandelion are amazing.

Of the many pictures I took when we visited Kentucky Down Under last summer (2015), these of the peacock were some of my favorites. I brought this one up close and framed it in a peacock-colored vignette.

This moth is usually elusive. It is nocturnal. It feeds on the leaves of the red maple tree, so no surprise to see it, I have two red maples in my backyard.

A heavy frost at 18 degrees F. (7.77 C.) created this frost pattern on our backyard corkscrew willow tree.
