Natural Geometry

I've been exploring the world of natural geometry lately. It's amazing what sort of patterns occur in the natural anatomy of plants. The organization within the structures is deliberate, perfect, and completely blows my mind.

Lichens

Lichens are so beautiful, and give me so much joy to look at. They are so complex, organized yet unruly. The colors they splatter on rocks and trees always adds a beautiful depth to the already beautiful macro landscape. I can't wait to take pictures of lichens in the boundary waters.

Some clever person was able to crochet little doilies in the likeness of lichens!

I love this photo involving different fabrics and speckles of lichens throughout.

That color, though!
 
These are not my photos, of course. I hope to produce some of my own soon and get them up here. For now, take a look at what Flickr has to offer regarding the beauty of lichens.
