Geometrically fractured shapes of mudstone fit like jigsaw pieces into a hollow of the Mesquite Dunes, Death Valley National Park, California. While I wandered around the dunes I kept thinking that I should climb up to the highest vantage at some point, but I kept getting distracted by the layers of stone that were cracked and exposed in the hollows and I never made it to the heights. My mind immediately conjured up Escher's drawings, and I thought the patterns were nicely emphasized by the monochrome in which he often worked.
Thanks for stopping by and for the comments!
All of nature reveal beautiful patterns. Love dahlias as everything radiates from the center and reaches to the sun. I love its underbelly and seeing the overlapping repetition.

Dark striations on the petal of a deep red lily are the host for tiny water droplets - likes wet notes on a vibrant scale.

After recently printing an all time favourite image of mine, Beck Abstract, I got re-inspired to try and do more such water ripple reflection abstracts. It came just in time for my holidays in the Swiss mountains. I found a lovely mountain creek, with beautiful colored stones in it and for a change the blue sky and the sun provided the perfect conditions for this kind of shot, as the rippels then really shine. I spent many hours and I could have easily spent even more time just doing that, trying to find nice stone and ripple arrangements.
Well, but that is only half of the story. After returning home and looking at the images on the big monitor, I began to see creatures in the images, created by the form of the rippels and colors. Some were obvious, and for others I had to search a bit longer. I am totally fascinated by this, although or maybe because it is not something I can control in anyway. It is just a surprise, whether and which figures reveal themselves from the pictures. So, I surely will be doing this kind of photography more often in the future.
However, in this particular shot, which I call, The fighting Tiger, the sun was briefly covered by a cloud, that is why the ripples do not shine or reflect on the ground.

I love the mourning doves. They are gentle little souls, never aggressive at the feeders. They mate for life, so I usually see them in pairs. This one's mate was sitting on a nearby branch.

Tulips come in a variety of colors but how about patterns? Why stick to a solid colour – as beautiful as it may be – when you can have stripes or more correctly variegations of different shades adorning your blooms?
There are records of variegated tulips going back to the 17th Century. Traditionally, variegated tulips were the result of a virus infecting the plant. Known as Tulip Breaking Virus this family of viruses causes the colour to be broken into stripes in the leaves of the flower itself. Infecting budding plants with Tulip Breaking Virus used to be the traditional way of creating variegated tulips. Unfortunately, infected plants were also smaller and more sickly looking. These days, modern variegated tulips are the result of deliberate hybridization where genetic manipulation replaced the role of the virus.
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.
The beautiful variegated tulips in this collage, with their striking striped petals, were photographed at the 2019 Tesselaar Tulip Festival. They are:
Left: Flaming Flag.
Middle: Gay Presto.
Right: Flaming Parrot.
The Tesselaar Tulip Festival is held in Silvan every spring since 1954. It has become one of the most iconic tourist attractions in Victoria where more than 120 varieties of tulips are shown on a 55 acre farm. Established by Dutch immigrants Cees and Johanna Tesselaar in 1939 the farm originally grew a selection of tulips, gladioli and daffodils. After initial success, the Tesselaars purchased more land in Silvan. They grew more tulip bulbs and it attracted people to stop by their property and admire their fields. In 1954, Cees and Johanna decided to publicly open the farm with a silver coin donation for the Australian Red Cross. Today around 900,000 tulip bulbs are planted using modern machinery and around another 80,000 bulbs are planted traditionally by hand. The Tesselaar Tulip Festival has been evolved over the years to include music, food and wine festivals to attract more visitors during the spring tulip season of September and October.

I hope you will enjoy the other feather images following this one in my photostream.

“Hope” is the thing with feathers -
That perches in the soul -
And sings the tune without the words -
And never stops - at all -
And sweetest - in the Gale - is heard -
And sore must be the storm -
That could abash the little Bird
That kept so many warm -
I’ve heard it in the chillest land -
And on the strangest Sea -
Yet - never - in Extremity,
It asked a crumb - of me.
