Your photos are fantastic!<br />When my students get blocked on design or color I have them go outside, close their eyes, take a few deep breaths then open their eyes. It works every time that they "see" patterns, shapes, and colors. Nature has so much to offer an artist. Thanks for sharing all of these great photos.<br />Nicole/BeadwrightDVArtisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18389131898875955178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8245960788517958704.post-70696319917451895462013-07-15T09:19:03.171-04:002013-07-15T09:19:03.171-04:00Alicia , what wonderful patterns you found on your...Alicia , what wonderful patterns you found on your vacation !

We have a local reptile zoo that does travelling shows and it's pretty impressive to see these huge snakes pulled out in front of you (all rescued from folks who thought they would make great pets).

We had several that got stuck in our pool in our old house and raised them from the time they were the size of a quarter until it was okay to release them back into the lake. I could tell them apart by the beautiful and very different 'patterns' on their little 'bellies'. And, Mr. Komodo is fierce looking indeed!Shelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11087293577550452789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8245960788517958704.post-92159771374527277882013-07-13T09:11:03.627-04:002013-07-13T09:11:03.627-04:00Nature truly is the master of all patterning.

And thanks to your son, you got lots of great photos. I have petted a boa constrictor at a mall..go figure, and like you said the skin was very soft, though I wouldn't want one in my house.
