YAY tiny Patch!
I have the large Patch too. Sometime I'll photograph them all together.
It took an hour to find the micro Patches. A lot of my lalas are still in a box.
Western Patchnose Snake (Salvadora hexalepis), Superstition Mountains, AZ
From the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum:
Distinguishing Features
This slender, docile snake reaches 1¼ to 3¼ feet (107 cm) in length. Most noticeable is the large, patch-like rostral scale on the end of the nose. A wide yellow or beige stripe with a dark border runs down the center of the back; one dark stripe runs down each side. Occasionally the stripes are broken or obscured by crossbars. The belly is pale, sometimes faintly orange. Males have keeled scales at the base of the tail and above the anal opening.
Range
This snake is found in the southwestern United States, northwestern Mexico, and Baja California. It is also found on Isla Tiburn and Isla San Jos in the Gulf of Mexico.
Habitat
The patchnose snake is found in sandy soils or rocky areas in lowland desert with open creosote bush flats or desertscrub. It is also found in grasslands to the lower slopes of mountains with chaparral, and in pinyon-juniper woodlands as high as 7000 feet (2100 m).
Life History
Active in the daytime year round in warmer climates, this snake is crepuscular in the heat of the summer. In milder climates it may be active from early April to early November. The enlarged rostral scale is useful for burrowing in both loose sandy areas or rocky areas in search of its food: lizards, grasshoppers, small mammals, and reptile eggs. While the western patchnose snake does not constrict its prey, it does throw loops of its body on top of the prey to subdue it. It locates reptile eggs by scent, using its nose to unearth them. Much like the whipsnake, it moves quickly on the ground, and may climb into the lower branches of vegetation. If picked up it will thrash wildly. During the summer, it lays 4 to 10 eggs. Eleven inch long hatchlings emerge in late summer.
My nine-patch is finally complete! Sewed the binding while on vacation in Wisconsin. I stopped at half-size, 35 blocks. I'm really happy with it, and I love how the white ties everything together! Thanks for the quilt-along, AmandaJean!

This pumpkin patch looked pretty sincere to me ... and there were certainly some BIG pumpkins in it ... perhaps this is where the Great Pumpkin will rise this year ...

A hand embroidered patch of a drawing I made on wool felt.
This little chap is perfect to add embellishment to a bag or clothes, or even just to have it up on your wall.
It is backed with the same felt, for strenght and thickness.
Taken maybe three weeks ago at Baldwin Farm. We went back yesterday so I have tons of photos from this trip AND the last one. I have lots of uploading to do!
Their pumpkin patch is so surreal. Rolling hills FULL of pumpkins.
The UP has brought the loaded coal train 2CWEMS 23 into Memphis. The former SP unit is parked at Florida Street on CN's Y&MV Main. This patched job is awaiting a CN crew to take the loaded coal train south, out of Memphis, where it will become the CN C70272.

This butterfly is found in Southwest deserts in California and Arizona. Similar to Banded Patch, it is usually much less common. Note the red spots along the margin of both forewing and hindwing, this contrasts to the smaller white spots along the margin of the Banded Patch.
Its not a wonderful picture but I thought I'd share it since patch is so cute! His ears had -just- lopped that day~

Super awesome patch from ezri_b!! It's going to be framed and hung in our bathroom. (We have a tattoo parlor themed bathroom... don't ask why...)
I didn't realize I collected appliques & patches, but I guess I do! I'm cleaning out my craftspace and was shocked to find how many of such things I have....
I encountered this fellow on one of my walks around the neighborhood the other night. I love to carry my camera and 100mm f2.8 Macro lens. He belongs to my 25th stranger, Cody, in my 100 Strangers project.
After you visit your laughing place, hop on into The Briar Patch and take a peek inside Brer Rabbit’s home. I love the decor here and it's worth a visit just to see the roots of the briar patch forming the ceiling of the store. Always remember to Look Up!
This is nice shop with a good variety of Splash Mountain merchandise.
These patches denote the various roles of the Renton, Seattle and Everett factories. The era that the patches depict is a rather specific time, going on the aircraft represented: it was sometime in the mid 1980's.
