Designs by Nature
There are designs that are man-made and these show the creativity of man. The natural design elements show the Creator! Nature has incredible patterns. Everywhere we turn in the natural world, these intricate patterns emerge, painting a complex tapestry that spans from the expansive spirals of distant galaxies to the delicate symmetry found in a leaf’s structure. These inherent patterns in nature are more than just visual marvels for us; they carry an essential bond to our human psyche. Whether we’re taking a tranquil walk through a dense forest, observing the mesmerizing ripples in a pond, or simply admiring the elegant tessellations in honeycomb structures, people’s emotional and physiological responses are deeply intertwined with these natural designs.
We present images this week of simple designs made by nature. Here is an image of ripples caused by wind in the in the sand midst small stones creating an interesting design pattern.

Monteverde Cloud Forest Vegetation
Monteverde’s green oasis is the pride and joy of ecotourism in Costa Rica. With cloud cover that hangs at the canopy, the cloud forest is fascinatingly different from the tropical rainforests that are spread across so much of Costa Rica. Common examples of vegetation include lichens, orchids, and bromeliads, all of which are abundant in Monteverde, Costa Rica. Cloud forests also tend to host a large number of endemic species, as their unique climates and specialized ecosystems create habitats that are not found anywhere else on Earth.


Canopy Tour Monteverde
Monteverde or “Green Mountain” as it is directly translated is aptly named for its extensive reserve of lush, verdant cloud forests in Costa Rica. For those who want to explore the mysteries of the cloud forests, the most popular way to discover this unique area is by trekking across walkways built in the forest canopy – or gliding along a zip-line! The walkways were originally constructed for scientists seeking to learn more and discover new creatures.
