Flickr Lounge: Patterns in Nature

Patterns, patterns and more patterns, in the fishing village of Tai O, Hong Kong.

Cape May. Patterns along Beach Ave

Just something that caught my eye this morning on my walk. I’m not even sure if this would be considered a repeating pattern, but that was the title that was stuck in my head for this image. :) Getting out early in the morning with my camera is turning out to be a highlight for me. Even if I don't get any photos, I love the quiet and the light. You’ve probably noticed that I also love to find beauty in ordinary things. It’s out there! You just have to open your eyes (and heart) to it. <3

**Hello to my new followers, and thank you to everyone for your amazing and continued support! I would like to get to a 1000 followers on Flickr before I die, and it looks like I might get there in the not-too-distant future. Lol Seriously though, I truly am very grateful for all of you! x

Seen on one of the Alpine foothills near Bern in Switzerland. To me this image conveys the beauty of old European cultural landscapes.

"Macro Mondays" "Unusual Patterns"

1. Favorite Photo (Not already in MSH)

Inspired by this week's SSC subject , patterns , someone indoors produced this Sanntangle for me to photograph .

What is a Sanntangle ??

" There are times when life gets too much and one just needs to stop for a moment and realign , a sort of living the moment kind of thing .

Tangling ( that is creating simple patterns to form an interesting abstract design ) can do just that .

It relaxes and helps to restore a positive mindset ensuring that one can be free to be more creative and then to continue with everyday life .

That said , the time spent can be productive resulting in something to look back on and admire the beautiful result and even be used for a card or framed to see whenever one wishes "

( adapted text from the Sandra Rushton starter booklet on Senntangling ) .

For my chosen shot for the challenge , you will have to wait until Saturday , it was a bit of a tussle trying to choose which shot to use for the challenge .
