Patterns 2

Winter has its own stark beauty.
The patterns of nature are more evident without foliage, but I must admit it is easier to appreciate it when the sun is out.



Trees on a mountainside

Seed pods at Cove Lake

Flaming Moss (?)

Enjoy the last of winter, and be glad spring is coming soon.

Patterns

Hey all,
Shapes and patterns are fascinating to photograph. Common objects have hidden depths waiting to be revealed
This old cogwheel is still ready to whirl into activity (grinding corn in this case)
yet the rust and age says it's not going anywhere.
The contradiction of "frozen motion" appeals to me

A seed pod defiantly hangs on the tree.

An old tractor seat filled with graceful curves.

Beauty in the ordinary.

Peace,
John

Antique Tractor Beautiful Decay

I love all types of mechanical things.

This tractor was in front of a closed antique museum in Lake City, Tennessee. Decades of weathering have taken its toll, leaving it beautifully weathered. One can almost feel the years of hard labor it's seen.

Once upon a time, this tractor was shiny and new, undoubtedly the pride of its owner.

Now, metal wheels are corroding,

and gauges are splintered.

Yet we can still honor this relic of a bygone day and give thanks for the way it served its purpose.

Peace,
John
