Patterns in Nature

 We had our annual girls' weekend in the woods this past weekend.  My Mom, Sister, Sister-in-law, and I spent the night at a retreat house on Martha's property.  (Martha is from Martha's loom mentioned in previous posts)  We talk, make art, play games, hike in the woods, and watch movies.  It's something I always look forward to as a hallmark of the year. 

I have posted several pictures of patterns in nature witnessed while following a pair of great horned owls which I attempted to photograph.  Despite their large size in actuality they are imperceptible specks once captured by my lens.
