Common haircap Moss and Isopod
Isopods and Polytrichacea exist since primeval times
Sea urchins, are typically spiny, globular animals, echinoderms in the class Echinoidea. About 950 species live on the seabed, inhabiting all oceans and depth zones from the intertidal to 5,000 metres. Their tests are round and spiny, typically from 3 to 10 cm across. When they die, they leave behind some of the most beautifully coloured and patterned shells which are so delicate and fragile that you have to be so careful with them when you transport them.
This year the FFF+ Group have decided to have a weekly challenge called “Snap Happy”. A different theme chosen by a member of the group each week, and the image is to be posted on the Monday of the week.
This week the theme, “patterns in nature” was chosen by Cheryl,
It seemed most appropriate to use this wonderful collection of sea urchin shells that I have, with their stripes and nobbles, to represent the theme for this week.

OK, this does not relate to the fractal patterns of the sand being located in Colorado, where marijuana is legal, but rather to their origin from mass wasting, a type of erosion due to gravitational slumping of sediment on steep slopes. Moisture seeping into the sand from recent storms influences the rate at which the layers slump down under the orchestration of gravity and wind, producing the unusual patterning. Erosion, the magician...

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

Looking forward to the transition from winter to spring. Sadly, I’m pretty sure COVID has a few more surprises in store for us as we head into springtime. But at least we’ll have the spring beauty to focus on.
So that Saturday evening doesn't have as much content as the day began (with semi-intellectual explanations about light, shadow and other wisdom), I'll add something light afterwards.
The Physalis lanterns are definitely light. Especially when I find them in this state in the garden in autumn.
Light, fragile and beautiful. And each one is unique again. So basically not a year goes by without me dedicating myself to them at least once.
This year it's planned for tonight because this recording is left over from last year.
Damit der Samstag Abend nicht ganz so inhaltsschwer bleibt, wie der Tag begonnen hat (mit semi-intellektuellen Ausführungen über Licht, Schatten und andere Weisheiten, scheibe ich noch etwas Leichtes hinterher.
Leicht sind die Lampions der Physalis auf jeden Fall. Vor Allem, wenn ich sie, im Herbst, in diesem Zustand im Garten finde.
Leicht, zerbrechlich und wunderschön. Und jede ist wieder einzigartig. So dass im Grunde kein Jahr vergeht, in dem ich mich ihnen nicht mindestens einmal widme.
Für dieses Jahr ist das für heute Abend geplant, denn diese Aufnahme ist vom letzten Jahr noch übrig geblieben.

large is cool
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! : )
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 😄
