Weekly Photography Challenge #781 Natural Rhythms!

[Tersha]

Starting a new set , Rhythm and Repetition, with … Natural Rhythms!

Find repetitive patterns in nature showing rhythm and flow.

Think about … regular/irregular, interrupted, scale, contrast, simplicity, framing.

[Anne Hornsby]

Very interesting, Pat.  Is the water on the right over a sandbar?

[Pat Garrett]

Thank you, Ann – no it’s not a sandbar – the setting sun hit the surf just as if it were “Coloring within the lines”.

[Anne Hornsby]

Repetitive chaos?

[Pat Garrett]

Loverly!

[Anne Hornsby]

Arms sprouting together.

Sujuaro Cacti typically sprout arms when they are between 50 and 70 years old.

[Anne Hornsby]

I’m thinking 3 chicks are part of a natural repetitive rhythm – reproduction & survival of fittest.

[Pat Garrett]

Ferns offer so many visual possibilities, don’t they. Like this, Diane.

[Rob Wood (Admin)]

I like that one, Diane

[Anne Hornsby]

This is great, Diane.  Shows the rhythm of the fern leaves plus the rhythm of the spore cases underneath.

[Holly K]

Great patterns.  The concentric circles are interesting!

[Michael]

Thanks Holly. Tersha wanted repetitive patterns in nature showing rhythm and flow, so I hoped that this fit the bill.

[Stefanie Markham]

This is stunning!

 

[Michael]

Thank you Stefanie.

[Anne Hornsby]

Seeing multiple concentric circles scattered across the water is amazing.

 

[Joanna MacDonald]

This photo stopped me “in my tracks”! The circles in the water and the reflection of the trees are stunning.  My only concern is the object at the top right … is it a stick? It is a bit distracting … just my opinion.  Otherwise …. a lovely photo!!

Nature knows all about repetition!

[Pat Garrett]

Perfection.

[Rob Wood (Admin)]

Cracker of a shot, frog!

[Anne Hornsby]

Simply beautiful.

 

[Holly K]

[Pat Garrett]

The splash of color punctuates the rhythm.

[Holly K]

Thanks, Pat!

[Tersha]

[Pat Garrett]

Stunning color.

[Stefanie Markham]

The tide goes in, the tide goes out.  What is left behind is natures’s choice.

[Pat Garrett]

The little rivulets look like wavy hair.

[Patrick]

Very very nice 🙂

[Anne Hornsby]

Great photo. I love the “fade-out” at the top.  And  your description is poetic!

 

[Robert Apple]

Don’t know about rhythm, but the Angel Fish moon was dancing to something amoungst the clouds and the setting sun in the sky last night.

[Anne Hornsby]

Moons do cycle!  Beautiful blues.   Robert what is an angel fish moon?

 

[Robert Apple]

@annehornsby Anne, I see an Angle Fish in the moon and lit up clouds. @admin-2 Rob saw a Fire Bird.

[Patrick]

[Anne Hornsby]

I love your sense of humor, Patrick!   And humans love to mimic nature, eh?

 

[Patrick]

Haha , spot on Anne glad you picked up on that 🙂

[Pat Garrett]

@Wendyp – where is your moon???

[Wendy P]

Here! But I’m liking yours more 🙂

[Pat Garrett]

The moon ALWAYS makes me think of you and another friend I have.

[Pat Garrett]

I have always wanted to try this, so I finally did….

[Anne Hornsby]

Very cool, Pat!

 

[Pat Garrett]

Thanks, Ann

[Charlie Gerancher]

[Holly K]

Very nice shot.  Is it a mushroom or a plant?

[Pat Garrett]

I think it is a fungus. Sure fits the theme @charliejg

[Rob Wood (Admin)]

Good one, Charlie.

[Anne Hornsby]

This image fascinates me, Charlie. Great pattern.

I looked up why some mushrooms have repeating ridges like this, instead of the smooth caps of many mushrooms.  Mrs. Google says repeating ridges create more surface area than smooth caps, so maximize spore dispersal.   Nature never ceases to amaze me.

Very nice, – it’s another short that really suits your style.
