While taking a pleasant four-mile hike in an urban nature park (Tualatin Hills), I thought about the importance of looking for interesting shapes and patterns. For photography, they are the basics of composition.
Sometimes it’s a spiderweb or reflections in the water. Sometimes it’s the geometric segments of a snake’s head or the roundness of a rose hip.
Keep a sharp eye and the patterns of nature will come alive.

Spiders and their intricate webs.
The eerie beauty makes me shiver. 😉
