This tree bark makes me think how camouflage prints for army wear may have been inspired by the natural patterns on tree trunks.

Being a big fan of Gardeners World I have learn a few important rules of gardening. One of them is undulation and here we have a great example of this.

Here's another natural pattern. Ivy inspires me to do multipal methods of line drawing. The natural shapes and outlines of this photo offer endless designs.

Some plants just create there own fantastic pattern.

I found this in a front garden boarder near our home. I have never seen anything like it before. It looks like it originates from somewhere ht.

I found this leaf. It looks like dyed leather. A lot of interesting leaves are still in our garden, left over from autumn.

The grass is beginning to grow faster now. This Lawn on the grounds around the University of Greenwich had been freshly mowed. Cut grass is perhaps my favourite smell. Such a fresh, clean scent. It makes me think of happy summers outside in the sun.

I bought some Pansies to decorate a Moroccan cake. I really like the chipped paint of the windowsil, which is the backdrop of this photo.

This is a fantastic spring bulb display that I found in a front garden on my way back from work. Blue Hyasinths are my favourite because the flowers of one bulb blend from blue to indigo and violet.

Blossom with blue sky in the background. A perfect Spring image.

This moss looks like it has been eaten by snails. What an interesting pattern they have made on the wooden fence!
