“Nature is an endless combination and repetition of a very few laws. She hums the old well-known air through innumerable variations.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882), “History”, from “Essays: First Series” (1842).
A collage of nine close-up photographs exploring natural patterns and textures. Images include spiralling rosettes of colourful succulents, intricately veined and patterned green leaves, an agave with white-edged leaves, knobbly mottled vegetable surfaces and deeply cracked tree bark. Repeating shapes, curves, symmetry and contrasting colours reveal the intricate beauty of nature.

16 October is the feast day of St Hedwig (1174–1243), patron saint of orphans. Her name comes from Old High German words for battle and war, suggesting a female warrior. J. K. Rowling named Harry Potter’s owl after this medieval saint, fittingly, as Harry was himself an orphan.

Early this afternoon, I spotted thousands of snow geese and waited patiently for them to take flight. Then one lifted off—and suddenly, thousands followed. It was surreal, like living in a National Geographic moment. #wawx #pnw #nature
