Patterns in Nature

For the last few weeks I have become enamored of patterns, textures, shapes, and color in nature. From the patterns on buttes to the textures in sand to the shapes of rock and the color of manzanita wood it is all amazing.

I'll dedicate several posts to these subjects, and I'll let the photos speak for themselves.
