Focus On Life Week 28

This week over at Studio Sublime the photo challenge is 'pretty patterns'.  I photographed this spectacular black and white butterfly in a local wildlife centre - it had only just hatched so the wings were in perfect condition and I thought the markings were so beautiful - isn't nature wonderful!  

I also added pictures of my tea knife handles, an etched glass water jug, my old typewriter and a bean flower in my local garden centre - I hope it's not cheating too much but from my archives I pulled out the mosaic floor pictures and the wrought iron gate - they just matched so well I thought!

    What an amazing collage of texture, patterns and shades of black and white. Really stunning. I love the old typewriter. My mum has one of these with flowers in it on a hall table.

    Nature truly is miraculous! And you have such a great eye, I have an old typewriter like that but I wouldn't have thought of capturing that great angle! And your knives, I stared and stared at them before realizing what they were...
