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.

USGSBIML Photoshopping Technique: Note that we now have added using the burn tool at 50% opacity set to shadows to clean up the halos that bleed into the black background from "hot" color sections of the picture.

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!

Ripples catching sunlight on the surface of Mitchell Creek, Clay Cliffs Nature Area in Big Rapids, Michigan, USA

We’re expecting to have one more night in the deep freeze, then I’ll be saying goodbye to the icy frost for most mornings. Won’t miss it at all. 😊

A sea urchin shell caught in a rock cleft. Herring gulls drop the sea urchins on the rocks to break the shells so they can eat their prey.

Red and white oak leaf impressions made by the mud that collects under the leaf in the rain. When everything dries out these leaf impressions are left. These are on my slate stepping stones.

Spider Web + Rain Drops = Awesomeness

A winter’s worth of ice patterns on my windshield.

These are tiny white field snails, about the size of your little finger nail......interesting patterns and colours.

Freezing cold outside, warm and cozy inside this month. But the spring flowers have started blooming!

Reminds me of a parasol made of flowers :).

 

This gorgeous Queen Anne's Lace is growing all over the place where I live! There's something to be said about living in the country. You see so many beautiful wildflowers everywhere.

Polyporus squamosus (Polyporaceae - Polyporacées)

 

Common name: pheasant-back mushroom.

 

It is a fairly good edible mushroom that must be eaten young, later it becomes hard and can then cause digestive disorders.

 

C'est un assez bon champignon comestible qui doit être consommé jeune, plus tard il devient dur et peut alors causer des troubles digestifs.
