Macro Monday's 15-07-2019 theme this week is "Patterns in nature"
I thought this Starfish (Sea Star) skeleton washed up on a beach looked nice.
This image shows the top section and five calcareous segments protruding upwards.
Most Sea Stars as scientists would like them to be called have five arms, they are simple sea animals lacking a brain.
They have calcareous plates that move with one another to form flexible joints.
The mouthpiece is located in the center of the underside.
They eat using their stomach that leaves the mouth and surrounds the prey, then returns to the mouth ..... gross.
Sea star's have a 35 year lifespan, and have no blood either.
There are 2000 different species of Sea star.
Oh' yes the Sea star can regenerate and grow back a lost limb, but it would take around a year to achieve.
They only live in saline seas, not fresh water.
HMM .... everyone
Love & Peace 💕
Many thanks for looking at my images .... Really Appreciated.
When I saw the sky this morning the term mackerel sky came to mind so I googled it. Interesting to learn the names for these clouds formations in other languages: "It is sometimes known as a buttermilk sky, particularly when in the early cirrocumulus stage, in reference to the clouds' "curdled" appearance.[7] In France it is sometimes called a ciel moutonné (fleecy sky); and in Spain a cielo empedrado (cobbled sky);[8] in Germany it is known as Schäfchenwolken (sheep clouds), and in Italy the clouds are known as pecorelli (little sheep)." en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mackerel_sky

Taken for this week's Macro Mondays theme: Patterns in Nature.
I know these leaf shots are kind of cliche here on Flickr but I wanted to do this one for today because leaves are so full of detail and patterns which look like a maze going this way and that way. Around here we have plenty of leaves so it wasn't hard to find one to use.
Thank you for your visits, comments and faves! HMM to all!
Turban shell
For the Macro Mondays challenge "Patterns in Nature" ( July 15th 2019)
Seashells always amaze me. How can so many shells have the same design, patterning, colour and size! Maybe they are as diverse among the seashell world as we are - but to foreign eyes they all look the same ;o)
There's a shot of the seashell in the first comment field, along with the the size-guide I use for MM.
HMM to everyone, and have a great week ;o)

On tour of the Lower Antelope Canyon. In the Navajo Nation Reservation area in LeChee, Arizona, United States.
I decided to try to split my 100x project (patterns in nature) equally between the 4 seasons. These are my 25 photos for Winter, now I'm moving on to springtime folks! I guess this means I'll be finishing at the end of Autumn.
First 20 of my 100X project, Patterns in Nature.
I know the calendar still says winter, but I'm moving on to springtime folks!
The wonderful contrast of frozen river ice over a bed of colourful rocks on the River Etive, Glencoe, Scotland.
On a hot hike in the Valley of Fire State Park today when this little guy came crawling out of a hole. Must have just got out of bed because he just sat and watched me crawl closer and closer taking pictures as I went. He finally had enough and wandered off. Happy Bastille Day
This is a Salsify seed. It is looks like a large dandelion seed and grows wild. I brought it home, stood it in a vase, added a bit of light to highlight the pattern. This seed at the widest measures 1.5 inches in diameter. I did make an adjustment to contrast in post production.
Lichen reproductive organs - apothecia- are round and occur in great profusion on the body of this lovely yellow lichen. While not a regular pattern per se the profusion of roundness is the pattern of nature seen in many lichens. This one was on a fallen branch at Cardinia Reservoir on our extremely wet weekend. Possibly a Xanthoria species. Sometimes these fruiting bodies are called fairy cups.
Lichens, or lichenised fungi, are organisms made up of a fungus and one or more algae or a cyanobacterium in a symbiotic relationship. Australia's has lots of algae and I once worked, many years ago, with one of Australia's well known lichenologists!
Each little star is only a couple of millimeters across.

"All around us, we see a great diversity of living things, from the microscopic to the gigantic, from the simple to the complex, from bright colors to dull ones. One of the most intriguing things we see in nature is patterns. We tend to think of patterns as sequences or designs that are orderly and that repeat. But we can also think of patterns as anything that is not random.
For example, we recognize the spots on a giraffe as a pattern, but they're not regular, nor are any of the spots the same size or shape. However, other patterns are orderly as is seen in the symmetry of a sea star or a snowflake."
