This horseshoe crab shows its underside — a radial fan of legs and gills beneath a domed, riveted-looking shell, oddly reminiscent of steampunk machinery.

Bare trees above a home roofline in Battle Creek, Michigan, USA

Green-spored parasol (Chlorophyllum molybdites), Red-mouth bolete (Boletus subvelutipes), no idea what the one on the right is.

Trunk, bark, and branches.

I thought these were just water droplets until I turned on my windshield wipers and realized they were frozen. One taken from inside the car, one from outside.

U3a Group 2 Challenge, Patterns in Nature.

One of a few undescribed Triepeolus that Molly Rightmyer left undescribed after her revision of the group North of Mexico. She simply labeled it Sp. 101. This one was captured by Tim McMahon in Cochise County, Arizona. I think the side shot taken with some of the large orange pollen is artful to an extreme and one would like to have it float down the hallways of corporate America to remind them of some of their indirect customers. Pictures taken by Kelly Graninger.

Yesterday, we cut down an old Hawthorne tree that appeared to be diseased. This is the stump of the tree that remains on the ground and I must say I was quite amazed at the pattern we discovered within the tree trunk!

 

I can see an angel although my wife can see a bird - regardless what a natural pattern!
