Early morning light (early for me). Tiny pattern of blooms on a plant called Joe-Pye. Pretty and delicate for the nearsighted.
Inspired by #Patterns in Nature for #MacroMondays.
Measures 5.08cm / 2 in from side to side of frame.
It was low tide at Bateau Bay Beach yesterday, which meant I could wander across the rock platforms and around the headland. Yaba-daba-do! On the other side was a whole beach covered in big, colourful pebbles.
Sand is known to sing and whisper when the waves wash over it, but these pebbles were chattering and clacking with every push and pull of the tide. It was such an awesome sound, best rock song I've ever heard!
They were also deceptively easy to slip on. Underfoot they shifted and rolled like they had places to be, and one wobble later it went from having Pebbles beneath me to Bam‑Bam on impact. (See what I did there ;) I’m now sporting a couple of fresh bruises on my "seat of wisdom". I half expected Dino to come bounding over the rocks, tail wagging, ready to pounce on me while I was down.
Enjoy the colours and textures of these chattering, Bedrock‑approved pebbles in large.
Thanks for popping by—and for any comments, always appreciated!

Cropped to less than 3". These hummingbirds average 3.1" to 3.5" long with a 5" wingspan.
Happy Macro Monday : )
For the group #MacroMondays Theme: #PatternsInNature
Very artistic patterns created by a small insect that bores into the bark of trees digging tunnels into the soft surface layers of the trunk. This tree, a Sycamore, died and after I felled and logged it the bark fell away revealing these patterns on the wood.
Photographed outside in natural daylight conditions. No processing was added to the photograph but brightness, focus and contrast were all tweaked slightly to highlight the hardwood grain.

Lots of natural patterns on the Green Bottle Fly and the Grosso Lavender. HMM
Graphosoma italicum is a striped shield bug that I found in the garden. There are 3 of them high on herb lovage.
Stellate pattern. Vertical POV of small decorative plant in flower garden...unsure of species name. Under 3 inches
Firebush's tiny flower clusters are a favorite treat for humming birds and bees

Cropped to 3In x 3in requirements
Difficult to choose on this task, went from feathers through magnetic force lines and leaves, finally ended up with a weed poking out by our back door.
HMM!
It is a lot like life.... full of contrast... full of symmetry, patterns that we easily recognize and (sometimes) associate with beauty (sorry Picasso :-))…
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT AND FAVES
ON THE REACTIONS I WILL TRY TO RESPOND BACK

De artisjok (Cynara scolymus) is een plant ,en komt voor in het Mediterrane gebied.
De plant heeft prikkelbare meeldraden: bij aanraking met bijvoorbeeld een bijentong of -poot trekken de helmdraden zich samen en komt er een snuifje wit stuifmeel vrij uit de helmknoppen.
De naam komt uit het middeleeuwse arabisch: الخرشوف (al-ḫaršūf), dat weer een herinterpretatie is van Europese namen voor deze plant
De vlezige schutbladeren van de gesloten bloemknop worden als groente gegeten
In Nederland valt de oogst van de nog gesloten bloemknoppen in de maanden augustus en september.

The artichoke (Cynara scolymus) is a plant, and occurs in the Mediterranean area.
The plant has irritable stamens: upon contact with, for example, a bee tongue or paw, the anthers contract and a pinch of white pollen is released from the anthers.
The name comes from medieval Arabic: الخرشوف (al-ḫaršūf), which is again a reinterpretation of European names for this plant
The fleshy bracts of the closed flower bud are eaten as vegetables
In the Netherlands, the harvest of flower buds that are still closed falls in August and September.
Natures patterns are something to behold .. but if anyone ID this I would be most grateful as I can't find a reference for it ..

This monday the MM theme was Shadow.. .. This is a very tiny Ixora flower (1.5-2x magnification in the pic) ... I plucked from the big bunch/ cluster, placed it on a heliconia leaf and angled my phone to take a shot from under the leaf...

This is one of the many Florida limestone rocks I've collected over the decades. Love seeing these fossils. So cool.
Couldn't log in to Flickr all morning. Very frustrating but they did respond quickly and got it fixed!
I reciprocate on all comments! Do you? Thanks if you do!
