I found this leaf just yesterday along the edge of the Shenandoah River. It measures: 1 1/2 inches across and top to bottom. I really liked it because it still had a bit of color to it. :)
I googled "large moth" and this one was the first hit. "Antheraea polyphemus is a North American member of the family Saturniidae, the giant silk moths."
I totally oversaturated the colors. Because, how could I not?
I love how the winter silhouettes of the tulip poplar trees show the arched shapes of their branches. And the dainty little seed pods.

Patterns in the sand at Clam Harbour Beach created by the action of the waves and tide. (This photo looks best full screen in slideshow mode.)
Llynnau Mymbyr (Lake) in Capel Curig, North Wales offered this reflective moment with the bracken on the hills providing warm tones.
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... :(
Looking toward Nant Peris from Dinorwig Quarry, it is interesting to see the sharp contrast between the beautiful mountains of Eryri and mankind's destructive influence upon Dinorwig Quarry. The sharp slate waste creates an unforgiving environment for nature.
Crazy Tuesday

Another beautiful set of patterns inside the compound flowers. This one, given to me as a Mother's Day present shows the circular and compounds patterns so well.
A walk on my local beach on Anglesey saw interesting sand patterns. This one reminded me of the start of a germinating seed.

Phormium is the genus for two plant species known as New Zealand flax. The tough sword-shaped leaves of this variety 'Jester' have a brilliant pattern of red/green/yellow contrasting stripes.
The body and shell of this juvenile snail (Cornu aspersum) were translucent, allowing late afternoon sunshine to glow through. The backlight also brought out the vibrant pattern of the leaf.
No snails were harmed in the making of this photograph.
