Weekly photo challenge: Pattern

This week’s challenge is “pattern.” Nature always provides her share.

Shadow of a leaf.

A radial pattern is visible in the petals of these oxeye daisies, a native Arkansas flower.

Repeating pattern of scales in a snakeskin found this morning. Probably from the snake featured in last week’s challenge. https://suburbanferndaleark.wordpress.com/2013/05/05/weekly-photo-challenge-from-above-2/

Alternating leaves form a pattern in these fern fronds.

Pattern of tiny dots in the wing of a carpenter bee.

Symmetry/radial pattern is apparent in this wolf spider.
