Palazzo della Civiltà Italiana

The first one of my 111 pictures in 2011 challenge. No 27 - fruit... plus 2 textures to distress it a little. Plus, clearly, too much time on my hands!

Hyles euphorbiae (Linnaeus, 1758)

Tree nymph butterfly - idea leuconoe. I think, no doubt someone will put me right, I hope!

39/52 in 2023 challenge: patterned.

Very exciting for me since I had never written a pattern of any kind before. This particular one is entitled "Fairytale Mushroom Cottage" ~

this was the 6th of 7 pincushions to debut in Quilt Fabric Delights - Pincushion of the Month Club in Australia! Thanks Sarah for letting me be a part of this fun adventure!

Shot in March 2008 with an Olympus E330 + Zuiko f3.5-5.6/14-45mm lens.

For Macro Mondays

The walls of an old railway tunnel (now used by cyclists and pedestrians) reveal their patterns in a mix of light from overhead lamps and some daylight intrusion at one of the tunnel openings.

This is a close-up photo of ice pattens in a shallow stream flowing across Clam Harbour Beach.

back from the city.....lots to see there ( including some very heavy rain...gardens , trees very green....)

These photos are from several days ago....a walk along the beach south of Port Elgin.....

Think the driver got bored started making patterns in the field.

Concrete pattern. Clever, timeless. #concrete #cladding #cast #formwork

I was intrigued with the patterns, not unlike those on a shell, that formed when this water droplet quickly froze. You can see where the air bubbles were pushed out by the quickly freezing water. The result is nothing short of beautiful.

Bentonite colors......

The bentonite hills in the southwest offer some amazing patterns and colors, especially from the air. Bentonite clay is volcanic and absorbs minerals which give it its color. When the light is low, the colors are at their best. Here are a few images from my recent trip to Utah. All images captured with a DJI Mavic Air 2s drone. More to come. 😊(please view each image large for details)

NOTE: This photo made it into Flickr's 'Explore" as one of the top five hundred most interesting photos on a particular day, which makes me somewhat sad as the actual resulting photos didn't make it, ha! You can see all of my photo's that have made it into the Flickr Explore pages here.

This is the Type of Photography I am trying to concentrate on for this Year. Simple "Situations" with somehow structured Surroundings. The Common Things or "Everyday Life" - enjoy!!

If you didn't guess, this is the patterning on the underside of an armadillo. This fellow may have met its demise during some recent flooding along the Buffalo River. At Boxley, the river moves from an open valley to a tighter canyon and flash floods are deadly.

This is s photo of patterns in the bedrock at Clam Harbour Beach.
