I was walking alongside the Marina in Caernarfon a few days ago admiring the yachts !! I was looking for movement in the water and saw this ripple of colour coming toward me. I appeared like grease or oil on the surface of the water and I liked the patterns and iridescent colour that it produced.
Layer upon layer of seeds builds up this pretty little pine cone. Perfect (according to me..) for this weeks theme layers in Macro Mondays.
There is something magical about a misty morning that is soft and mystical. The mist appeared as a veil covering the undulating land during this sunrise.
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.
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
for Macro Mondays, Patterns in Nature. Beetle smaller than my little finger nail. And there's a much small er one on the flower he's heading for.
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.
Close look at how nature weaves its designs - each seed held in perfect symmetry, waiting for a breath of wind.
Gaillardia grandiflori 'Sunset Cutie' and a cutie it is :)
The flower is about 2 inches wide.
Happy Macro Monday.

Cornflower bud. From the tip of the emerging petals to the base of the bud is 22mm or just under one inch.
I thought I was finished photographing the pumpkins at Trader Joe’s for this fall, but these colors caught my eye this morning. The yellows, and the big pinkish one with warts!😊
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, Cheryl - Vickypoint.
My first thought when the theme was announced was how fortunate that I had been in my garden only days before. Taking advantage of the sunny and unseasonably warm autumnal day in my rear garden I had been photographing the leaves of various plants basking in the sunlight. Their patterns were so eye catching.
In this collage, the shot on the left is of a fig leaf from my neighbour’s overhanging tree. The pattern reminds me of an aerial view of a suburban estate with major arterial roads off which come feeder streets from which expands the maze of courts, closes and boulevards that make up the designs of modern housing estate design. The shot on the right shows the beautiful stripes of an aspidistra that used to live in our entrance hall in a jardiniere, but became a bit too large for it.
There is something calm and peaceful about the ebb and flow of the tide with a veil of water covering the shore.
