Nature's Patterns

Our local Photo Group had a photography workshop last week, led by one of our most knowledgeable members.  He had us outside, paying attention to various camera settings, and looking for patterns.  Later, when I uploaded my photos and looked at them, I was struck by these ones.

Can you tell what they are?

He suggested that we try just looking for patterns, which I did, and found this.

He suggested that we shoot these vertically instead of the usual horizontal.

But actually I found I liked the horizontal version better.

 So have you figured it out yet?

Common bulrushes or cattails, growing in the ditch.

Here's the first view I had, when he took us out to the edge of the road.  The photos above are what I got out of it!  Turned out I enjoyed this workshop a lot, 'cause I like these pictures!

  3. Pretty neat patterns. I've been seeing these down by the little pond here in town. When I was a kid we used to call them punks.
