Gallery: geometry in nature, squared

From Baby I don’t care, written by Jerry Leiber / Mike Stoller and sung by Elvis Presley

When Becky asked us to share Geometric Squares this month my mind turned immediately to buildings and to art. 

Now, inspired by several other people who have found plenty of geometry in nature, in particular Jude, I decided to look for some more natural geometry within my archives. I’m saying ‘nature’ but in practice all of them are of the plant world, with the exception of the lichen which looks a bit like a plant but isn’t! Some were taken on my travels, others much closer to home (including our own garden).

Nature is full of interesting shapes and patterns, especially when we get close up. And while I’m not certain all of these qualify as great examples of geometry, these images pleased me. See what you think.

My feature photo was taken in the Monteverde cloud forest in Costa Rica, and is a duplicate of one below but turned through ninety degrees to work better in that slot!
