Compositionally Challenged Week 41 - Patterns
The color of the water is the reflection from a sandstone wall.
It's really unusual for the sky to be full of mare's tails or "Cirrus uncinus". We can see them quite often, but mixed with other clouds. To get a complete sky full of mare's tails is really rare!
For the Tuesday cloud groups 😊
and for Crazy Tuesday - "patterns in nature" 😊
More about these clouds.
"Cirrus uncinus is a species of cirrus cloud. The name cirrus uncinus is Latin for "curly hooks". Commonly called "mare's tail", this cloud species is very thin and generally sparse in the sky.
The clouds occur at high altitudes, at a temperature of about −50 to −40 °C (−58 to −40 °F). They are generally seen when a warm or occluded front is approaching.
They are very high in the troposphere and generally mean that precipitation, usually rain, is approaching". Wiki

...provides its own gift....
Found this fallen beauty on a tiled walkway this morning.

Having to make five repetitions in a flower must be a bit more complicated than 4 or 8. It requires surely a lot of coordination... and that is the easy part if you think about the colored veins...
Make life simple 😄
loving the straw flowers. There were many butterflies and dragonflies flying amongst the beautiful dahlias and straw flowers in this garden. I could have stayed there for hours, lol! : )

Looking out toward Dulas Island (Ynys Dulas) from Lligwy Beach, Anglesey at sunrise. Dulas Island is a small island located off the North East Coast of Anglesey, about a mile and a half off shore. It has a rescue tower that once stored food and provided shelter for ship wrecked seamen. The tide had receded leaving water to reflect the sky's soft colour.
Low tide at Traeth Bach, Southerdown, exposes the effects of tidal erosion on Jurassic carboniferous limestone.
Traeth Bach is Welsh for 'Small beach' - the next beach to the east is Traeth Mawr - 'big beach' - and yes, it's much longer than Traeth Mawr!
Not posted a Macro Monday shot for a long while, but I was taking shots in our newly-developing garden 3 or 4 days ago and thought that this might fit the bill if a little predictable :)

Thank you for visits, favs and comments 🙏
The view point near the Ugly House in Capel Curig provides scenery toward Betws y Coed. I found these tress on the hill quite appealing with new colour for Spring.
This is a close-up B&W HDR photo of swirling patterns of frothy foam in a stream with a good volume of water flowing in it the day after a heavy rainfall.
We are closer to spring than from last fall, so that is optimistic. By the end of next week we could be getting close to 50 degrees. If the forecast is accurate, I'll be out photographing next Thursday - Saturday. First flawed efforts from the new camera and long lens could follow shortly thereafter.
Looking much like a planet, complete with gas clouds and a icy pole, a frozen bubble rests atop a fence slat on a very cold winter's morning.
Pressed digitalis flower.
Last week I was rummaging in parts of my study that haven’t been delved since the Balrog was wakened. I discovered a folder which contained some flowers that I pressed quite a few years ago.
Flower pressing is something of a lost art these days which I think is a shame. Not only are they pretty in their own right but they give a unique perspective on the structure and delicate forms of plants and flowers.
Several of the pressings were of foxgloves, and I thought they were really quite interesting to look at.
One of the things I like about foxgloves is the pattern of spots on the inside throat of the flower which are there to guide flying insects to the nectar. The pressed flowers revealed the whole patterns of the individual flowers. You can’t normally see these without dissecting the plant.
The patterns are very variable, and the arrangements are curious. I like the way the splotches get smaller nearer the nectar.
The Macro Mondays theme this week was on patterns in nature. It’s a theme made in heaven (almost literally :) ) because there are so many interesting things you could take. I thought though it would be a good opportunity to share an image of one of my pressed foxglove flowers. I thought it would be a bit different…
The dried flower is two inches long. Yey!
Thank you for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image, and the pattern. Happy Macro Mondays :)
[Tripod mount, delayed shutter, single image. Backlit using my cheap and cheerful LED lightbox (second time it’s been out this week :) ).
Quickly developed in Lightroom for colour and exposure with noise reduction but no sharpening.
In Affinity used Levels to make the backlit pure white, and used Curves in LAB mode to get the exposure more even and to emphasise the colours a little using steepened ramps for the colour channels. Sharpened with Unsharp Mask and that was it.]
