Ledebouria socialis 'Silver Squill, Leopard Lily, Wood Hyacinth': Silvery grey leaves with dark green splotches grow over succulent bulbs. Underside of leaves and the bulbs are dark purple. Full sun. Drought tolerant
It's been a loooooong hot and dry summer. We're finally seeing some relief, but I think it's too late for several trees in our yard... :(
I found these tiny fern leaves only 1-2 inches long, backlit against the sun. On closer examination I saw the leaves had what I thought were spots on them. But looking still harder I was amazed to see that some neat little insect has laid minute clusters of eggs under each notch in the leaf. At least that's what I presume they are. Did one insect do this? How did it know to lay them in such a precise pattern? Or is it something else, part of the fern? HMM
Autumn provides us with colour and shapes. I found this leaf resting on a fern and I liked the colour contrast in soft light.
Trearddur Bay offers some nice locations where the tide flows in between rocks that are close to the shore. The tide was receding on this day and created some nice patterns. I thought the shapes captured in the rocks were also nice.
Llanddwyn Island evokes a sense of tranquility, calm and peace. The tide was receding under stormy clouds with Twr Bach (Small Tower) standing proud.
During a recent visit, the Lake District National Park offered pleasing displays of Autumn's colours - all very beautiful to see and the reflections brought about by still waters were particularly lovely.
A recent trip to the Lake District saw plentiful scenes of various grasses some of which showed off their delicate nature.
For Macro Mondays theme 'Redux 2019', a re-visit of the theme 'Pastel' but would also be suitable for 'Patterns in Nature'. The tiny juvenile snail was shot on a leaf from my conservatory plant Phormium 'Jester', using my Raynox DCR-250.
No snails were harmed in the making of this photograph.

SUBJECT: MINI CACTUS
FYI … This is the miniature kind. This is probably about an inch and a half at it's widest or less and not even 2 inches tall.
Taken for Compositionally Challenged - Week 22 - Patterns in Nature. We are building a home in a neighborhood that is in a somewhat rural area. The neighborhood bear visited our lot this week.
Hoja nueva de una palmera con las puntas todavía sin estirar / New leaf of a palm tree with the tips still unstretched
I love how the winter silhouettes of the tulip poplar trees show the arched shapes of their branches. And the dainty little seed pods.
Another invasive species that dominates our plant life in Louisiana. As pretty as it might be, it grows everywhere and will choke out other native plants. It is Louisiana's only climbing fern and grows much like a vine as high as 90 ft.
The low winter sun forms a striking sunstar above a frozen Sandebukta, seen from Selvik toward Holmestrand. The snow-covered shoreline curves gently into the fjord while faint footprints trace a quiet human presence in an otherwise still landscape. In winter along the inner Oslofjord, calm and cold conditions can freeze sheltered bays like this, creating natural patterns in snow and ice that photographers love to capture.
Fun fact 1: The dramatic sunstar effect appears when shooting with a small aperture (like f/11–f/16 or smaller), where the blades in the objective create the distinct rays of light.
Fun fact 2: Complete freezing of inner parts of the Oslofjord is uncommon and usually requires extended periods of stable cold weather, low wind, and limited tidal movement—conditions that only align a few times each decade.
One very unique pattern in nature in this tree's bark, complete with pareidolia.
I was expecting to capture a fairly generic picture of bark on one ot the trees just outside my work building, until I found this trunk, well, looking at me. Not very well camouflaged within the pattern was this area where the bark peeled off, looking very much like a fish or, at least, a tadpole. I have no idea how long this pattern will last, but it will at least provide some amusement for a while.
Gaillardia grandiflori 'Sunset Cutie' and a cutie it is :)
The flower is about 2 inches wide.
Happy Macro Monday.
