Patterns and designs

I find myself drawn to patterns and designs...










they are easy to spot in an acorn cap...






in the wings of a butterfly...








or the lace design of Queen Anne.

There is something meditative in stepping back and noting the amazing things that are normally missed.

A certain comfort is found in seeing repetition in nature.  It soothes our souls and connects us with the Great Designer of all. 


Hope you will find some lovely patterns and designs in the coming week. 


Hugs

Debbie

  3. Beautiful! Did you ever read the book "Patterns in Nature" -- there is so many 'patterns' that it's bewildering .... a fun read too ...

  4. I know what you mean, Debbie. Patterns and designs are in nature all around us, and it's amazing to see. The Queen Ann lace is such a unique and pretty flower, and I love how you noticed the design in a simple acorn cap. Acorns remind me of Fall, and I'm looking forward to all things Autumn coming up. Your posts are soothing and comforting, Debbie. Thank you.

  8. How much nature teaches us, how many lessons it gives us, some seem to be forgotten and from time to time it shows its strength and greatness even in a cruel way, we also behave regularly with it.

  12. I can just see you wandering about, finding beautiful patterns...and beauty everywhere.
    New format: A friend has offered to help me, we'll see. A part of me is just rebellious to change that isn't necessary. Constant improvements to technology, planned obsolescence, all that...
    Do you speak French, as you called the flowers Myosotis?

  14. That's something I enjoy about sketching (when I take the time to do it): really observing the designs and patterns as I draw.
