It's always fun go get outside the "comfort zone" and look for patterns and light.

This was taken in March on Glassilaun Beach near Clifden in Co. Galway. I was struck by the fantastic patterns in the sand, which so closely resembled trees it was quite amazing.
I saw these beautifully patterned blossoms at the botanical garden. Taking notes of the name tags is something I still have to learn... I have no idea what plant this is 😅
Thanks to the Flickr Team for including my picture in today's Explore takeover - such a nice idea! 🙌

This is one image in a series I'm shooting on parking decks ... shapes and forms, light and shadow play, mood and atmosphere. Some images are minimalist; others representational; still others abstract. To see more in the series click Parking Deck Series
Beautiful patterning created by the tide and waves in a sloping area of the beach sand at Clam Harbour Beach. This is a vertical version of the same photo posted earlier.
This is a photo of patterns in the coastal bedrock near Clam Harbour Beach. The scrapes were made by the movement of glaciers 10,000 years ago.
Flickr lounge: patterns. Traveling and was stuck in airport, so … only with phone, so cannot add to thread….or if someone knows how to do that through the app, let me know.
I think getting interesting pattern shots of trees is harder than it looks, but here is one which I like a lot.
Pastel on newsprint
I made this shortly after I started doing art at age 56. There was no preconceived idea. I just picked up a piece of pastel and started moving my hand and arm on the paper. This is the image that resulted. When I showed it to the teacher of an art class I had just started, he said "What were you on when you did THAT?", lol! The answer: nothing. I was just following the impulses as they popped up within. I made this in the horizontal orientation. It was only after it was done and I turned it to this vertical orientation that I saw that it resembled a serpent.
At the time, and for years prior, I spent many hours each day in mantra meditation, pranayama breathing, and yoga asanas, and had experienced many moments of expanded awareness and bliss. But I knew almost nothing about kundalini or its awakening.
I now know that the Sanskrit word "kundalini" means "coiled one". In the Dharma religions, it is a primal energy, or shakti, located at the base of the spine. Different spiritual traditions teach methods of "awakening" kundalini for the purpose of reaching spiritual enlightenment. Kundalini is described as lying "coiled" at the base of the spine, represented as either a goddess or sleeping serpent waiting to be awakened. ... To me, this image reflects the creative phase of the creation/maintenance/destruction cycle.
Kundalini awakening is said to result in deep meditation, enlightenment and bliss. This awakening involves the Kundalini physically moving up the central channel to reach within the Sahasrara Chakra at the top of the head. Many systems of yoga focus on the awakening of Kundalini through meditation, pranayama breathing, the practice of asana and chanting of mantras. In physical terms, many report the Kundalini experience to be a feeling of electric current running along the spine.

Also, " ... The Supreme Brahman is described as the swallower, devourer (attā = soul) of the universe; for just as he creates and maintains it, he destroys it also. But where does it go when it is destroyed? One answer may be that it simply vanishes. But the Upanishads are opposed to such an idea of destruction. Only the forms and shapes of the world are gone, but not the being of the world, which is the Being of the Brahman. Then what happens to the world? It is absorbed, assimilated to the Brahman. The Brahman swallows, absorbs, assimilates the world to itself."
