Nature is there for us to admire and embellish. All it takes is a little imagination and an easy technique:
Lichen Caloplaca sp. (possibly Caloplaca ignea, Flame Lichen) making cryptic patterns on a rock along the Nub Peak Trail; Mount Assiniboine Provincial Park, British Columbia, Canada, Mount_Assiniboine_Lichens-1
This is the first large daisy that bloomed over the last couple of weeks and there are many more following this one ~ hopefully all as beautiful.

This piece of ice in a little creek caught my eye. I just love the abstract pattens formed. I have pasted a blurb from the link below about Sudden Tract. This tract has a gorgeous moraine.
The Sudden Tract
If you enjoy hiking or cross-country skiing, this area of rugged moraine hills, well developed trails and abundant wildlife, is for you.
The Sudden Tract, one of the larger natural areas in the Region, contains, in addition to representative habitats and species, many Carolinian forest species, as well as some unusual northern plants and animals. The well marked and developed trail system, part of which is the Grand Valley Trail, conducts the visitor to most parts of this natural area and beyond. Within an afternoon you can see oak-hickory forest, some plantation, silver maple swamp, and sugar maple-beech forest. Frogs and snakes are abundant and easily seen on many of the swamp-side paths and along scenic Township Road 4 which bisects the area.
Ample parking is available in lots at the entrance off Highway 24a or off Township Road 4.

"Pattern's In Nature"
A brown snake sunning itself in the late afternoon light on the road between Quorn and Hawker.
I didn't dare get any closer as it was well and truly alive. There was another car coming down the road so we made sure the snake went on it's way.
Bubbles, created in winter by the photographer, rapidly form ice crystals on the inside surfaces, Michigan, USA,
The weather has finally gotten warm enough to venture outside without too many layers. I went for a walk at The Forks with most of the citizens of Winnipeg. I came across this pretty plant in the snow. The twists really intrigued me. Nature makes some amazing shapes.

I've created an shop on Etsy to sell some of my macro photography. I've listed a couple of photos either in 8x12 or 12x18 size. When I get more free time later, I will post some more...
In case you are curious here are the names I considered for the shop

It was a windy day in Austin, Texas on May 5, 2007. I decided to try to capture the wind and this is what I found.
