What is your favorite pattern in nature?
I am fascinated by the beauty everywhere in nature: the intricate foliage of a hemlock or Japanese maple, the patterns left by waves in the sand, the incredible complex beauty of the markings in animals’ fur.

Spiral aloe and split-leaf philodendon. Both of which can be seen here
@ playthebanjo : funny, made me laugh.
Honey combs
The nautilus is pretty amazing.
Oh and clouds also…I have seen some amazing patterns/things in the clouds (I won’t get into all of that).
Certain species of trees will occasionally produce a genetic variation that causes the wood fibers to undulate instead of running straight up the tree. When the wood from these rare trees is cut at a certain angle, these fibers reflect light in beautiful patterns. These boards are sold to furniture and instrument makers for outrageous sums. Here are pictures of a couple of the possible variations in maple: this pattern is called “flame”, and this is called “quilted”.
the lush green mountains that u see from a far.
Spring is my favorite season. I love new life. Baby animals crawling around with their new moms learning the world. Flowers in bloom spreading color. The amizing smell after a spring rain. I think in heaven it will be spring year around.
I love the delicate and complexity of a spider web. They can be so beautiful if caught in the right sunlight or with drops of water on them.
I’ve always liked woodgrain and maple leaves. I’ll also concur with leopard fur, there’s something specific to leopards that makes it really beautiful.
