We've been working so hard on the academics of photography, I thought I'd give us a break this week and talk about one of my passions - Patterns. Patterns are everywhere and I find them great fun to find and more fun to capture within a frame.

See ... patterns are everywhere, go capture a pattern or two and share them with us in the Light, Lines & Color Community on Google+. If you're not a member yet, simply ask and I'll add you, so we can all see your patterns too.
Remember to Keyword your images like this with the word Pattern and before you know it you'll have a collection of patterns for your entertainment.
