Something I liked, unsure what it represents. Seen in Houston's Museum of Natural Science.

Water running to the sea carves patterns in the sand at Seilebost beach

Besides "classic" landscape photography, I am drawn to details in the landscape. Sand patterns and their interaction with water are a world of their own that I never tire of photographing.

Seilebost, isle of Harris, Outer Hebrides

Thanks for your comments, awards and faves. They are much appreciated.

Les algorithmes sont-ils responsables de la solitude grandissante qui rampe dans nos villes et nos campagnes ?

Tout dépend de ce qu'on entend par "algorithmes", bien sûr.

En tout cas, tandis que l'informatisation agressive des services publics élargit la fracture sociale qui sépare les plus pauvres de ceux qui ne sont pas suspects par défaut de manque de mérite, la solitude, elle, se voit, s'entend, se ressent, se vit... Au milieu des motifs pavés.

Macro Mondays - Patterns in Nature

Lots of natural patterns on the Green Bottle Fly and the Grosso Lavender. HMM

Kingston Beach, Tasmania.

Neat clouds patterns, pier piling patterns, and ocean wave patterns.

Ocean City, Maryland

The combination of blowing snow and sand created some interesting patterns on the beach. Even with the difference in color, the two merge together so well that it's hard to tell which is which until you step on it - and your foot sinks into the snow. With this image, I was experimenting with light and shadow in the patterns.

Those mounds in the distance are shore ice created by waves pushing water up through holes in the ice - creating mini volcanos on the surface. If you're walking on top and fall into one, it can be impossible to get out on your own.

Firebush's tiny flower clusters are a favorite treat for humming birds and bees

Tiny leaf from a Katsura tree. Yes, we planted it when we moved here before questioning if native. But it does absorb air pollutants, perhaps. And the tree nursery sold and planted it along with many native cedars and sequoias.

Nezara viridula - Final instar nymph. Do love their colouration!
