Beach Patterns: Lens-Artists Photo Challenge

“Leave behind on the fabric of this planet a pattern of yourself.”

Dominic Rouse

TIED UP IN KNOTS

This week Ann-Christine has challenged us to find patterns; man-made or natural, home or away. As one who loves the patterns often found in the sand of our beautiful beach, I’ve chosen to share a few of my recent favorites.

“Find beauty not only in the thing itself but in the pattern of the shadows, light and darkness which it provides.”

Junichiro Tanizaki

Sometimes the patterns are created by the wind, other times by the waves, and sometimes, as in the capture below, by the beautiful creatures who frequent our shores.

THE BIRDS, THE BIRDS

“Art is pattern informed by sensibility.”

Herbert Read

Mother Nature gifts us with patterns everywhere. Her delicate footprints can often be found alongside our own at ocean’s edge. Happily, our avian neighbors seem to enjoy them as much as we do.

SOARING OVER THE STRIPES

“We artists have been affected by patterns in nature since day one.”

Kristi Bridgeman
