#19. Patterns in Nature

Patterns created by overnight freezing of ice on a March night in Woodland Park and Nature Preserve in Battle Creek, Michigan, USA

[Matteuccia struthiopteris]

Congenital scute anomalies are fairly common in desert tortoises, but incidence may vary significantly by locality. Factors influencing the development of scute anomalies may be environmental (temperature, moisture levels, oxygen content, presence of chemical pollutants/radiation at the nest site), genetic, or both (see Grover and DeFalco 1995 for summary).

The beach in Port Douglas was covered with these little balls and holes in various sizes. Apparently they are made by crabs as they sift through looking for food. Reminds me of Dippin' Dots :)

 

Day 140 of Project 365.

One of the images for my Photography class final project - Patterns in Nature. I looked at different types of patterns, like migration, foot traffic, erosion, and in this case, how the Bison's back is shaped like the hill behind him.

Any visit to Death Valley National park isn't complete until you go to Mesquite dunes. Even though walking on sand with all the gear is annoying (add to that strong winds blowing sands in your nose, ears), the patterns on the dunes make it really worth it.

In order to find a pristine spot, one has to walk a lot if starting from the parking lot area - since there are too many footsteps around the parking lot area. There is a trail-head (36.616285, -117.071825) ~2.5 miles from parking lot of mesquite sand dunes (towards Beatty Junction), from where such pristine spots can be found without walking too much on sand.
