Spiralling


Inspired by the feather and stones image, I started to look at patterns within nature, repeating patterns: circles, circles within circles, spheres, spirals, radials, waves, veins and branches. In the garden alone I found them in snails, pea tendrils, the acer japonicum, in the earth, in water and light and of course in me. The very limitlessness of the search left me in awe and led me to my quote of the day:
"The true mystery of the world is the visible, not the invisible." (Oscar Wilde)

How very true. Oscar hits the nail on the head once again! And the sad thing is we so rarely stop to look...
