2021 week 42 – Patterns in Nature

This week’s challenge is to find and take a photograph of a Pattern in Nature.
A pattern in general is a structure characterized by a more or less uniform reptition of shapes and / or colors.
Patterns in nature are visible regularities of form or color found in the natural world. Natural patterns include symmetries, spirals, meanders, waves, cracks, stripes etc. Leaves and petals of plants are arranged in patterns, cracks in dried out surfaces form patterns, the colors of bird’s plumage or the animal’s fur often show patterns to name just a few examples.
