Great shot! I love the variety and number of different patterns going on here, from the tide’s gentle lapping at the beach in the distance, the fence almost mirrored in ripples in the sand, the footsteps traversing along the middle and even the tire tracks to the left. Really captivating shot — so much to take in and think about! Hope you’re having a great weekend!

Thanks KT! Yes – so many patterns in one photo! I wasn’t aiming for that necessarily when I shot it — but when I reviewed my images it just screamed patterns. Of course then it got me thinking about patterns and life – and thus researching what it all means:) Hopefully will get to apply the wisdom I’ve gained as I move through life now! Enjoy your weekend as well…
