Patterns in Nature

This was my backup in case the curves/color shot didn't work. Taken on a short walk today of the mountains of snow/ice from street plowing and yet to melt. Cropped to capture the way the ice atop the snow pile has patterns that repeat in the branches of the tree.

The snow looks like it has got a life of its own - cool shot

[Penny Price]

Were you lying on the ground to take this??? Looks really great large.

[Taffy]

@pennyp Heehee! Nope, didn't have to lie down to take it as it IS really really large. Just stooped a tad so that I could shoot upward to get the tree. Hard to believe we won't have some annoying flooding when the weather warms up.

[Steve]

Well observed.

[Annie D]

also beautiful

[Kathie]

Yikes. Dirty, gritty snow and likely rock hard.

[Katie]

Great title and concept!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

The stuff on our roadsides is looking like this too. Yuck- but the good news is that it's melting!

[Jeni B]

I was noticing all the crusty ice patterns yesterday too. I like how you got the tree and sky behind to highlight it

[Timothy]

cool

[Islandgirl]

Wow interesting how dirty snow can be turned into a beautiful photo.
Love how the sky and trees highlight the snow.
