Cunard liners Queen Elizabeth and Queen Victoria waiting to leave on their world cruises. It costs about £13,000 for a world cruise of 4 months. A scene from Southampton docks at the weekend. I like the water ripples breaking up the lines of light. Another image in first comment box. Should have used a tripod....

painting on paper...size 51 x 41 cm...Windsor & newton block of acrylic paper with canvasstructure...I just love to paint on this paper...but when framing it is much easier with an ordinary canvas....but I just like this paper and paint on both sides...depends...this is on the not structured side of it...It is a block of paper that I just had and not used for a long periode but sometimes you just go through what you have and find things that turn up more useful than you thought....

outside the weather is so good...spring is definitely here though it is still a bit cold and you need to wear gloves and something around your neck still....

The sun stands still for no one, constantly changing shadows, lighting and the general atmosphere... You have little time to meditate and contemplate your subject... you must quickly decide your course of action, and with verve and emotion, capture the essence of your subject. ~ Sidney Hermel

We had a recent cold spell in Shreveport - Lost our water for 5 days along with a third of the city. I liked the patterns of the ice on this bayou.

. . . Not a real weather geek, but there must be a cool name for these rows of clouds over Lake Michigan near the Arcadia Overlook! So unusual to not have hardly any ice on the big lake this winter!

Have a great week Facebook, Flickr, and 500px friends!

I'd been taking so many bird shots trying out my new lens that I'd forgotten about the beach. I remedied that with a wonderful walk across the beach, looking for fossils in the freshly exposed rock layers , due to the loss of sand. The beach is so different it was like a voyage of exploration. The beautiful sand patterns caught my eye and I drifted off into another world, just

as obsessive as bird photography. Variations on Sinister is by frank Zappa.

Looking out on the harvested wheat fields, Pete Seeger's song started playing in my head. Turn, turn, turn. 'To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under heaven'. There's a time to plant and a time to reap. The stages, the patterns and the rhythms are a part of life. Hopefully they help us all to thrive and to find peace.

Rain droplets on the radiating rosette of leaves from the Chocolate Aeonium. Quite a few patterns occur in nature, especially fibonacci in floral and other growth patterns

This tiny refrigerator magnet has an amazing pattern of scales - plus it has the rubbery feel of a real fish skin. It is older than the hills - but I still treasure it.

Posted for Macro Mondays theme; "Unusual Patterns."

11Fountains are a group of fountains in the Frisian eleven cities that were placed in the context of Leeuwarden-Fryslân in 2018 (Cultural Capital of Europe).

"The Oort Cloud" by the French artist Jean-Michel Othoniel in Franeker refers to the astronomer Jan Hendrik Oort who was born in Franeker and came up with the hypothesis that an Oort cloud must be located in the outer regions of the solar system, far away from the planets. The cloud is symbolized by the mist rising above the fountain. The water runs down from a large bowl. This is supported by a kind of dark pearl necklaces. One pearl has the color of the moon and one has the color of the sun.

11Fountains zijn een groep fonteinen in de Friese elf steden die in het kader van Leeuwarden-Fryslân in 2018 (culturele hoofdstad van Europa) zijn geplaatst.

''De Oortwolk" door de franse kunstenaar Jean-Michel Othoniel in Franeker refereert aan de astronoom Jan Hendrik Oort die in Franeker geboren is en met de hypothese kwam dat zich in de buitenste regionen van het zonnestelsel een Oortwolk moest bevinden, ver verwijderd van de planeten. De wolk wordt gesymboliseerd door de nevel die bovenuit de fontein opstijgt. Het water loopt vanuit een grote schaal naar beneden. Deze wordt ondersteund door een soort donkere parelkettingen. Een parel heeft de kleur van de maan en een heeft de kleur van de zon.
