52 Weeks of Pix 2019 - Week 28 (Jul 6- Jul 12): Flowers

Found a puddle of downy woodpecker feathers in my yard this morning. Some predator had made a meal of it. I couldn’t resist the chance to study the feathers.

Dill 'tetra' has a repeating pattern - these little yellow starburst umbels are about 1cm diameter, and they are repeated to make up a larger starburst umbel.

For Macro Mondays, theme: Patterns in Nature

Saucer Plant (Aeonium tabuliforme), Mexican Gem (Echeveria elegans) and other succulents. Displayed at the Calyx in Royal Botanic Gardens in Sydney, Australia. Photo stacked composite.

Para Macro Mondays 2019/29: Patterns in Nature

the starling murmuration last night at Tring Reservoirs was very different from my first experience when the birds were right overhead. Instead they were on the horizon throwing a variety of shapes which produced an amazing series of images that, being human, we were all trying to assign specific objects to - this one looks like a flying squirrel (or some spreadeagled mammal) to me..

A sampling of the mini terraces at the edge of the Grand Prismatic Spring in Yellowstone National Park. I liked this perspective as the mirror-like water reflected both the blue sky and white clouds as well as the tree line of the adjacent hills.

Macro Mondays, July 15, 2019: “Patterns in Nature”

Patterns in the sand at Martinique Beach created by the tide and retreating surf.

On tour of the Lower Antelope Canyon. In the Navajo Nation Reservation area in LeChee, Arizona, United States.

A view of the tucked wing feathers of an Eastern Bluebird. As with other recent feather images like this I applied the PS oil paint filter to soften the edges and create more of a flowing look in the details.

Something new in my garden.

Mon - Jul 15 2019 - Theme - "Patterns In Nature"

My original choice for this week's theme was the random patterns on a natural stone called agate ... but just a few hours ago today , I happened to see this withering leaf that just held its pride and glory as it shined bright in the sun... with the sunlight as natural backlight the brown patches looked beautiful to me .. I shot this on my phone and decided this image to be my final entry for the group even though the background is noisy... this is the underside of the leaf..

The leaf has double patterns - the repeated patterns from the veins and the random patterns from the brown patches....You can also see how the texture varies between the green and brown parts..

Again - this is a highly cropped image to meet the size requirement of the group.

Editing : Crop, HDR (in snapseed) - I tried healing the background but it didn't work.
