I’m working on a dahlia inspired Zentangle pattern piece that is going to have the dahlia stencil I made from one of you photos. Hopefully I will be able to finish it this week. These are lovely patterns. I’m kind of obsessed with patterns. 🙂

Great patterns here Cee. The word tends to make me think straight lines and angles so I’m delighted to see the gentle patterns of your dahlia. And a perfect theme for b&w.

So many patterns to delight! Yours are wonderful, Cee. The fire escape–source of my height-phobia–fire drills we had to practice in high school. Ugh.

You got some fantastic patterns, great eye and good macro work on the flower.
I noticed some almost zig-zag patterns on the cat as he was about to turn into The Incredible Hulk the other day.

The photo of the Dahlia gets my vote this week. The B&W shades from white to grey to black are revealed in the texture of the leaves. You have set the bar very high this week, Cee.

These are among my favorite types of black & white pictures. Love the tall building and the lined-up windows. And the petals, of course. And the cast iron fence.
