Wow, the entries this month have been so prolific. And with so many good one, it’s going to be really tough to pick just five. Good work everyone.

All my cats are very cooperative.  They are so used to me shoving a camera in their faces.  They don't even complain about the flash in their eyes!

The first shot was taken on Ocean Drive - Hollywood Beach.

You have a few days left to post your last entries and also to go over all of them to pick your favorites.  As we near the end of the month we have at least 130 entries.  With this amount we need to vote for the top five.  As always list them in your order of preference and give both the title and photographer.  Please get your vote into me by Sunday evening and I will post the results that night or Monday morning.  I am traveling on Monday so would like to finish on Sunday.
You can email me your votes at ltorkel@roadrunner.com or send them to me at this site.

One last time!

Is there any "SIGN" of a pattern here? Nearly all day in the making and a pattern so big I needed six photos to fit it in!

I hope the scroll gets them in order...

1... ...2... ...3... ...4... ...5... ...6!

The month is drawing to a close and I'm trying to be a bit creative... The result was unexpected but not at all undesirable!

On Sunday, my family and I took a trip to Emma Krumbees Orchard & Farm for their annual Scarecrow Festival.  While we were there I noticed this steel roof at the entrance of one of their buildings and thought it would be a good subject for this month's challenge.

Enjoy.

I really liked this as an entry, but wasn't sure about it because of the shadows across the picture.

Wow!  I had no idea that I had taken so many pattern pictures on my vacation!

1. ~ the Mall of the visitor's center at Mt. Rushmore, where every state and territory is represented by it flag.
2. ~ a composite photo of several shots of the Crazy Horse Memorial mountain during the evening light show.
3. ~  examples of terracing at Mammoth Springs, Yellowstone National Park.

The photos are of the inside of a teepee in Moose, Wyoming, a rustic wooden fence at a buffalo farm in Utah, and the square roots of a tree at Yellowstone National Park.

I've been looking through some vacation photos, and thought these fit the bill for patterns, and wanted to share.Not So Coy KoiMoon Jellyfish Anemone

OK, so this is my gratuitous attempt at showing off my little guy.  

But, his hat does fit the challenge of repeating patterns, so can I get away with this one?

Took a walk this morning (thanks, Amy - you motivated me) and this is some of what I spotted.  They were all in front of people's homes.

I took a little trip to our local baseball field today.  I shot a lot of pictures of repeating patterns but decided most of them were not so good.  Here are the two that managed to escape the Recycle Bin!

Hope you enjoy.
