A sandy area near the Laguna Madre, with some patterns carved after a storm had dumped a substantial amount of water on it. This is near sunset, and I was struck by the resemblance to an areal view of a desert.

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.

The pattern @Hong Kong

From a visit at the Vasco da Gama shopping Centre in Lisbon, Portugal - September 13, 2018.

I liked the pattern the moss made growing around this stump.

Il fiore matura lentamente, nel calice che si ingrossa sotto l'impulso delle temperature orimaverili e della luce che alimenta la pianta. Poi si assiste al suo sbocciare, e i petali si espandono nell'aria leggeri, lanciando i loro messaggi di seduzione. Così accade anche a questo fiordaliso montano (Centaurea grandiflora var. nervosa), i cui petali sembrano una delicata eruzione cromatica, sbocciata da un involucro ispido ..... ..

Interesting patterns formed on the beach at dusk by Shediac, New Brunswick.

Interesting patterns in logs of driftwood.

For the Through the Lens week 9 theme of Patterns are the beautiful centres of the Lotus Flowers at the Blue Lotus Watergardens. When dry these remain the centre seed head and drop the surrounding stamens. With friends on a hot day. I have had quite a few trips recently to some of Melbourne's lovely gardens recently. But that is about to change in a couple of days time.

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.

An old picture I took of a feather with an old pattern of mine.

I finally figured out how to make a stroke in GIMP.

There are many things to see but sometimes the nicest things are the most basic. Simple rhythmic patterns and prints made by little creatures.

As I walked around one of the geyser basins in Yellowstone I started looking down into the shallow water at the edges of the boardwalk. I became fascinated by the endless variations of colors and patterns I found there. I took my time and found this composition that seems to have and interesting flow to it.
