It's a long tour everyone but it takes you around the coastal areas from North West down to Lands End and up to South East of Cornwall taking in a few inland areas too.

I have also done a new tour called "Patterns" - the picture I have picked have patterns in them - either natural or man made.

What a lot of lovely tours we have now, it is good to have them listed to locate them easily, thanks Maria.

Lyn B It would be lovely to have a tour of your artistic pictures. hint, hint

Wow, Stephanie, how wonderful was the Patterns tour!  You're so good at coming up with clever themes.  That was brilliant!  Thanks for using a few of mine, BTW.  xx

I just signed off on the Bye thread, but I couldn't go without saying hello to our Maria.

HI MARIA!!  Hope this finds you well and thanks for keeping our custom tour list up to date.  xx

Hi Ruth ..had just realized the update was slightly behind !

Thanks and have a good afternoon :)   

Being mathematical, this is the sort of tour I am naturally drawn to, Stephanie - and I find it's got 2 of my pictures in it! Many thanks. Based on your "patterns" idea, I've started deliberately taking photos of Fractals, and I'll put together a tour myself. To begin with, I uploaded a picture of a single fern today (9 May).

In fact - here's the naissance of a tour, using just my pictures at present...

Hi Tony:  I like your tour - keep going!!

I took a course in college on systems and they talked a lot about systems in the natural world - fractals, the Mandelbrot (sp?) set, chaos therory, quantum mechanics, the butterfly effect, etc.  All very fascinating but waaaayyy over my little pin head.  The lesson I took away from it was how exactly ordered the universe is, far beyond what we can actually observe.

Stephanie your tour inspired me to start observing patterns in my picture taking.  I'm working on some now to add to my photo-bookay page.  lol

On the subject of patterns, I've never checked myself, but it is claimed that the number of petals and seeds on a sunflower (except for those which have fallen off etcetera) is a number in the famous Fibonacci sequence - 1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34,55 and so on - where you get the next number by adding together the two prior numbers. In fact, apart from those with 4, 6 or 7 petals, it's claimed all flowers have a number of petals in the Fibonacci sequence.
