Nature offers us many interesting shapes and designs. Sometimes I’ll take a picture of a scene, like the field of dandelions and sky filled with light puffy clouds below, simply because the repeated pattern delights me!


Bubbles on the beach, tossed ashore by a frothy ocean, create another fun pattern. Do you see the reflection of my camera in some of the bigger ones?

I have featured sand art and dune runes in other posts. The ocean acts like an etch-a-sketch, always leaving new designs in the shoreline with the ebb and flow of the tide.


Tree bark is another infinite source of lovely patterns and textures, as are moths and butterflies.


And of course there are many plants that I could include, however I’ll leave you with this one of a fern my beagle, Jello was using as a summer shelter from the sun!

I like the bubbles on the shore. I have been away from the coast for too long.
Thank you for commenting Marlene! The coast beckons all.
Wonderful examples – the sand art is whirls of joy, and I love the bark – and the whole gallery.
Thank you, Leya. Love “whirls of joy” – maybe I’ll title a photo with that quote!
You are welcome!
LOVE the bubbles!!
Something so simple brings a smile to my face!
What great patterns! The shoreline of trees in the sand is truly amazing.
