Any dog's nose has a 2 way, mirror symmetry & thus falls within the idea of "Pattern"

In this case the nose belongs to our new pup, Rogue

Even the patterns in sand is beautiful.. :)

Looking back a bit on 2014, I came across this set of little paintings that I did as part of an exercise with my students.

This is a photo of patterns in a driftwood log.

This is a close-up photo of patterns in thin ice in a shallow channel beside the river.

I went to a small art exhibition called Floribunda recently. It had a number of paintings, floral dresses and a row of flowers entombed in clear resin. Included was this interesting NO painting which I didn't take the details of but was rather beautiful.

For the Mosaic Montage Monday theme of pattern mixing. Included is an overlay texture of dots and dashes. A pattern imposed by man.

www.ngv.vic.gov.au/exhibition/floribunda/

"The exhibition Floribunda, a major partnership between the National Gallery of Victoria and Bunjil Place, is an intoxicating larger-than-life mashup of floral imagery, design and motif drawn exclusively from the NGV Collection. Through its ‘Wunderkammer’ style of display, Floribunda celebrates and reimagines the nature and significance of one of Australia’s most important collections. Including Decorative Arts, Fashion and Textiles, Painting, First Nations Australia and Pacific Art, the selection of works spans multiple histories, cultures and art forms. Featuring poignant still life paintings, couture embellished with swirls of floral pattern, and objects lavishly adorned with buds and blooms, Floribunda connects human experience with the beauty and poetic symbolism of flowers."

This is a photo of sand ripple patterns at Clam Harbour Beach. I love how wind blown lighter toned sand has highlighted the patterns.

Acrylic on Canvas

This is another negative painting inspired by the wonderful artist and instructor, Linda Kemp. I really enjoy this kind of work and am always excited to start the next painting.

Pattern

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

Loved the pattern the water made as the sun shone down into the Yellow Breeches Creek at Yellow Breeches park.

Really liked the patterns from the reflections on the river surface.

One of my favorite things about balsam flowers is that they grow on the carcass of the previous year.

I'm sure there's a lesson to be had here, but who knows what it is.

I never get tired of photographing sand dunes. The sun and wind orchestrate a landscape of constantly changing shapes, patterns, and shadows. It’s simultaneously simple and amazingly complex. The experience of walking on a dune field can be exhilarating – a conflicting mix of desolate vastness, beauty, and pleasant loneliness.

So I’m always on the lookout for new dunes to explore, and I realized that it would be easy to stop by the Kelso Dunes on my way to New Mexico. The Kelso Dunes are in the Mojave National Preserve in southeastern California, and if I left San Francisco early enough I could make it there for afternoon photos.

I arrived at the trailhead to the Kelso Dunes at about 2pm. The sun shone strongly, and according to my car the temperature had already hit triple digits. As I hiked out, lizards darted away from the trail so quickly they didn’t even seem to be touching the ground.

I knew from photos I’d seen that the Kelso Dunes were pretty scrubby, with few areas of vegetation-free sand. But the area was still interesting to see, and the view from the top of the highest dune was worth the hike out, even in the punishing heat.
