A round-up of submissions to Nature Photo Challenge #1: Patterns
When I launched the Nature Photo Challenge I thought that perhaps two or three bloggers would respond. I didn’t realize it would create such interest! So far 19 of you took the time to submit your photos of Patterns in Nature:
- Martin took us around the world (I love that zebra!)
- Carol introduced us to erosion patterns in Porcupine Gorge, Australia
- Georgina showed us floral patterns from the Sierra Aracena, Spain
- Then it was over to Sweden for Maria‘s exquisite flower and insect photos
- What are the birds dining on in Brian‘s garden? It’s quite a surprise!
- On Vancouver Island, Audrey showed us some fascinating rock patterns
- Margaret showcased bird patterns (the humble mallard was my favourite)
- A second blogger from Vancouver Island! This is Ann with her floral patterns
- The delicate patterns of trees and their bark was highlighted by Kathleen
- Becky brought Spring to life with her catkin patterns
- Over in South Africa, Aletta displayed some of her local nature (super: another zebra!)
- I could marvel at Pat’s butterfly patterns all day!
- More stunning Spring floral patterns from Jude in Cornwall, UK
- Judy‘s portfolio included the most highly patterned caterpillars on the planet!
- Susan shared an incredible inter-woven pattern of the Telopea flower (amongst others)
- Robert displayed the symmetry to be found in leaves
- Dawn focused closely on the intricate and varied patterns of the sunflower
- Who can’t love the Monarch butterfly? Suzanne showed us their wonderful patterns in close-up.
- Deb showed a variety of patterns, both natural and pointing to the natural!
- Woolly from Australia gave us close-ups of that famous Australian patterned animal: the Zebra!

Nice to see the round-up Denzil so we can check out the ones we missed.
(BTW it is Knit one, purl one – purl is a type of stitch)

Goodness, you learn something every day. I remember the phrase from my grandmother talking to my mother, and never knew it was spelled like that. I think I will leave it like that as a symbol of my ignorance!
