caption works best if you look at the other photo first ; ) Female adder (Vipera berus)

Replaced the previous version. After reviewing the entire series again, I realized I wasn't happy with Cloud 43, so I decided to remove it and upload a different image instead.

An assortment of nature's oddities. A few resemble manufactured items -- I see a phone, a gaming controller and a sporty steering wheel.

This interesting bug decided to bomb my photo. I think it was a nice addition. The dew was very heavy after the light rain we got yesterday and Ithaca was very foggy this morning.

Pattern's In Nature.

A gum tree on the side of the road just north of Wilpena Pound on the road to Blinman.

A close-up shot of a textured, dome-shaped concrete traffic bollard embedded with small pebbles and covered in a vibrant layer of green moss. Left sitting outdoors amidst fallen autumn leaves, this urban artifact blends human-made structure with natural overgrowth, creating an intriguing palette of earthy tones and textures. Part of the "some colors" series.

HMM-- the theme for today, 7/15, is "patterns in nature" and this is one possibility for posting :)
