These elaborate eroded pockets in the Navajo Sandstone wall of the San Rafael River canyon are called tafoni. Their origin is debated among geomorphologists. Possible explanations include the leaching of minerals that cement some parts of the rock making it more resistant to erosion, variation in the velocity of wind currents blowing across the rock, or differential patterns of rock breakdown (weathering) due to temperature variations. This is yet another clear failing of science, despite squandering tens of dollars of taxpayer money on research to study geomorphological processes.
Using intuition and creative thinking as guides, I have an alternate explanation which works just as well as “science” to explain these formations. I believe that tafoni are constructed by a species of small humanoid creatures, who etched these pockets into the stone as places to escape the elements. They were contemporaries of the ancient Greeks, and were impressed with the architecture and stonework at Petra, thus producing aesthetically appealing arches such as the ones shown here. Although no remnants of these microhumans remain (they were probably consumed by packrats around 2000 years ago), their excavations (tafoni) can be found throughout the world, a testament to their diligence and perseverance.

All the buds on the yew tree. Winter evergreen Taxus baccata.
Patterns in Nature from July 2019 for this week's theme.
Yes I know, it’s the umpteenth Passion flower, but the others weren’t taken within the week rule as my obsession had started the week before!
The pattern that the 5 stamen and 3 stigma make is beautiful against the backdrop of the corona filaments ( the spiky wheels).
Thanks fro stopping HMM

Macro Monday: #PatternsInNature
Width of the frame: 1,5 cm / 0,59 inches
Last Minute capture for "Patterns in Nature". It's an extreme close-up of an agate palm or worry stone which to me looks like a storm on Jupiter.
Taken with two Kenko extension tubes (16 and 10 mm) and the Raynox DCR-250 "super macro conversion lens" all mounted to my macro lens, and with in-camera focus stacking. Developed and processed in ON1 Photo Raw. It's amazing that some backlight, and then haze reduction and increase of saturation and dynamic range brought out these colours on what looks like a fairly palish (mostly brown and white tones) mineral to the unaided eye (no extra colours added!).
A Happy Macro Monday, Everyone!

Last-Minute-Foto für das Thema "Patterns in Nature". Extrem-Makro (so etwas in der Art) eines Achat-Handschmeichlers, aufgenommen mit zwei Kenko-Zwischenringen (10 und 16 mm) in Kombination mit dem Raynox-DCR-250-Macro-Converter. Von hinten angestrahlt und mit der Kamera-internen Fokus-Stacking-Funktion aufgenommen. Entwickelt in ON1 Photo RAW. Die Hintergrundbeleuchtung sowie "Haze Reduction" (Dunst entfernen) und die leichte Erhöhung der Sättigung und des Dynamik-Umfangs brachten mal wieder erstaunliche Farben zutage, die mit dem bloßen Auge so nicht zu sehen sind, da wirkt der interessant gemusterte Stein eher blass mit seiner bräunlichen Grundfarbe sowie der weißlichen Bänderung. Die Gelb- und Orange-Töne dürften auch überwiegend dem Hintergrundlicht zu verdanken sein. Künstliche Farben habe ich der Aufnahme aber nicht hinzugefügt.
Ich wünsche Euche eine schöne Sommerwoche, liebe Flickr-Freunde!
Macro Mondays: Patterns in Nature
Just found this little one on our Milkweed plant today that I had planted last year. Very exciting - not great light, but wanted to get it when I saw it.

Spores on the underside of fern leaves make a remarkable pattern. If one looks.
From Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest. I cropped out my husband's hand holding this steady for me.

A fossilised ammonite.
The spiral is composed of a series of chambers that would have been gas or fluid filled, with the tiny ammonite living only in the outer chamber. It created new larger chambers as it grew, which then appear to spiral out from the centre. The ammonite itself is considered to be an extinct relative of a Nautilus.
This polished ammonite is 3cm across at it's longest dimension.
I have a therapist.

Pattern 4: Longitudinal stripes on the yellow petals
Feathers that seemingly appear out of nowhere are believed by many to be a message from the afterlife. On this particular day my sweet Ollie (dog) had to be put down, as they found a large cancerous mass in her abdomen, nothing could be done for her. I was broken hearted and shortly after her death this feather fell from above. I took it as a sign and was comforted by the thought that my furry loved one was at peace. I kept the feather and later added some water drops to represent my tears and took some macro shots. In memory of you, sweet Ollie.
