Unusual Patterns ~~~~ Macro Monday

Two rather unusual lions at the gates of inner garden in the Yu garden in Shanghai Old City. The classic garden was first laid out in 1577 but has been subject frequent changes and suffered much damage over the years. It has been beautifully restored and is rightfully one of the main attractions of old Shanghai.

The lions still have the classic attributes -- the sphere and the baby -- but assume rather whimsical poses that I have not seen anywhere else (not that I would claim to be an expert on Chinese lions).

Pattern on soapy bubble..... always fascinated as my son created while washing a copper pooja vessel..

Or maybe just floating planters. A new addition, not sure whether I like them or not. Taken in Regents Park.

Seashell Study I

Spotted on a small island in Spitsbergen, these colorful grey phalaropes are apparently mostly red in color in Svalbard. In an unusual relationship, females perform the courtship, while males incubate the eggs and rear the young.

Smile on Saturday.

Unusual planters.

Saturday and Sunday pleased with perfect sunshine and temperatures of about 15C. Time to go fishing along River Else between Gross Aschen and Bruchmühlen. Not a single cloud in the sky, time to upgrade the Vitamin D-level. Hücker Aschen, Ostwestfalen, Germany

Unusual Patterns

For The Macro Mondays theme : "Unusual Patterns"

Gangani (Gongoni), which is popularly known as the “Grand Canyon of Bengal” is located near the small town “Garhbeta” of Paschim Medinipur district in West Bengal. The place is situated on the banks of river Shilabati which is locally known as “Shilai River”

Gangani is a natural canyon situated near the town of Garhbeta, in the Paschim Medinipur district of West Bengal. Gangani, also known as "The Grand Canyon of West Bengal," is almost 70 feet deep and is formed due to the natural erosion of the Shilabati River. Due to its scenic beauty, the place has become a popular tourist spot.

This dragonfly landed on a tree branch just ahead of me at Koll. I often see them on reeds and tall grass, but haven't seen tree

branches, 6 feet off the ground!

Any time I shoot dragonflies, my ultimate goal is to see the compound eyes, and a few of the shots of this one did reveal them (enlarge for detail)

Pheasants can usually be seen in the open countryside near woodland edges, copses and hedgerows. Never before in my urban garden! After a short while of nosing around and not finding anything tasty to eat it flew up onto the roof and away.

This dunnock had a lot of white feathers & a very pale beak.

Необычное дерево.

Unusual plant with nicely variegated leaves.

Popped my head and camera gear outside briefly for about ten frames. Poor little round birds and other wild things. This fluffed-up Northern Flicker perches at a snowy planter.

My sister is in intensive care at a hospital clear across the country. I'll be on and off, hoping you all are doing well, dear Flickr friends.

So surprised to see this mouse climbing our spruce tree!

Curly Vines

This rose wants to be both pink and white.

American Oystercatcher

This bird made a lot of people scramble to observe it on the shore of a local reservoir. The last time one was spotted in Bucks Co. was in 2012. Shot was taken a little before sunset and a little far out.

College Park, MD

Very pretty spotted today. Thanks to David Nice for the name

Coquille de moule qui me semble fragilisée et striée plus qu’à l’habitude.je ne suis pas spécialiste en conchyliculture...et même en mytiliculture,mais je me demande quand même si ces moules ont souffert de leur environnement....

Looking down at my birthday bouquet.....actually the pretty magenta tulip was sitting around the back but I moved it via photoshop......

#8/52, Unusual perspective, 52 weeks, the 2023 edition

For "Smile on Saturday," and this week's theme: Unusual Planters.

'Work as Unusual' is a creative black and white version of a macro photograph of a leaf.

This year, the huge front door poppies decided to change their color. They became purple instead of red. So strange :)

Later edit: Mind-blowing
