Pattern. Patterns are everywhere. Patterns are sometimes intentional and sometimes accidental. They can be decorative or merely a result of repetition, and often patterns can be in the eye of the beholder to discover them.
My image for this weeks challenge is a photo of a NZ Fantail (or Piwakawaka). These tiny birds flit and fly with amazing dexterity and are incredibly difficult to photograph well. Fortunately they do occasionally stop on a handy branch for a rest, and if your camera is quick enough, you *can* get a nice shot.
What I like about this image for the challenge is that if you look at a bigger size you can see amazing pattern detail in how all the feathers are laid out. I find my eyes can get quite lost trying to unravel where it goes 🙂

It is a beautiful photo.
Thankyou, I am particularly happy with this one 🙂
That is an amazing photo and a great pattern for this challenge… did I tell you I love birds?… 🙂 You made my morning…
I love birds too, I confess I wanted to find a good way to incorporate this image into a challenge post just cos I loved this shot so much 🙂
Ah the fantail – don’t get the here-a-ways. Nice.
Thanks, I was surprised to find them in the middle of the Botanic gardens with so many people around!
Lovely – the stripes of white going across the tail feathers, wings, AND the face and breast.
Yes the more you look the more you see 🙂
