I’m not talking about the patterns of flowers — their parts, forms, shapes, variations — much has already been written on those topics. Instead, on this rainy day, I was fascinated by the patterns made by petals fallen (from a wild black cherry tree) on grass, ground, and pavement.

The photos are gloomy like the day’s weather, but I hope you will enjoy (as I did) the patterns of petals on the pavement, painted-in-place by passing vehicles, and passersby. The featured photo on this post (above) is a “Martian” grass edit I did for fun. Here are the “realistic” and “monochrome” edits:

Camera: iPhone 11pro
Editing: Hipstamatic app
Photographer: Russ Murray aka “remages”
Location: Somewhere in Stamford, CT

See you tomorrow…
