PICTURE THIS #225 ~ PATTERNS IN NATURE

Glad to see you, Marianne, hosting this weekly Challenge!

Thanks, Mitch, for putting my quirky door as banner picture. I feel honoured...

The pattern of a pine cone is intriguing to me...

I waited pretty long to capture the swallow peering over the edge of the nest, the pattern of which results from a beautiful design of 'architects' that have never attended any Fine Arts School.

Ever changing patterns

Cute patterns

Really cool pine-cone shot.

That is so cute.

Lovely waterfall.

Terrific composition.

Nice header photo, Belita! I love the pine cones. I haven't seen a single pine cone in the woods at the park, but they actually sell them by the bag full at our grocery store to use for Thanksgiving and Christmas decorations.

The swallow is adorable. I'm so glad you had the patience to wait for him to peek out again.

Pretty patterns of movement in the water.

Wonderful composition in that last photo. Love it!

Hi Belita!! Fantastic shots for this week's theme!! Excellent shot of the pine-cone, it almost reminds me of a dessert cone. LOL. Wonderful shot of the swallow peering out of his nest, such a cute face. Great water-patterns in the thirds shot. I really like the composition of the final shot. Coffee beans and cinnamon stick, I think?

Darling Belita, your special signature shines through everyone of these special shots. Now you will have me practising pine cone shots all day. Your patience paid off the little one eventually got curious as to who was there. Is it not amazing that they just like that know how to build such an intricate nest just with mud and their saliva? Birds are amazing creatures, I never get tired of watching and observing them. They adapt to any situation and just simply work around man and make a new plan when we move into their world. Love love love the last composition. Is it time for a cuppa, yet?

What a wonderful banner your picture of the lion and number 15 makes! All lovely pictures, but that swallow is amazing. I can't find words. It is an incredible capture.

Rules For Weekly Challenges

The rules are similar to when Picture This was on Multiply, with a few differences. As always, please post a maximum of three photos each. The Picture This page on Blogger is optimised for image size 640 x 480, so please try to post images NO LARGER than this to avoid distorting the page or overlapping onto the right-rail. Blogger has a storage limit for photos uploaded directly to the site, so please use copy/paste of HTML from storage sites such as Flickr or Photobucket as much as you can. Unlike Multiply, Blogger does not allow posting of images in comment boxes, so anyone taking part should put their photos, along with any accompanying text, in a separate post here on the PT main page, making sure the challenge number and theme are in the title line. Please note that the posts will appear in reverse order. After the host has posted the challenge, all contribution posts will appear above it on the main page, so you will have to scroll down the main page to find the host's post.

Challenge Albums & Flickr

Unlike Multiply, Blogger does not have facility for photo albums, so Picture This now has it's own associated Flickr account, where albums will be uploaded to . Once on Flickr, they will then be cross-posted to Blogger (all of this part is done by the admins, just like the albums were on Multiply). Each challenge album will appear on it's own tabbed page, along with a Flickr slideshow of the album. The cross-post only shows the first 24 images as thumbnails, to see the whole album, either watch the slideshow, or click on the little blue link between the thumbnails and the slideshow. Only the most recent three challenge albums will show on tabbed pages, to see earlier albums, you will need to go to the Picture This Flickr page. CLICK HERE TO GO TO FLICKR PAGE. Our Flickr account has tight copyright controls, so your photos are as safe as on your own Flickr page.
