Beauty in the Ordinary

This is not about being brilliant, or extraordinary, it's not about wanting to be famous, or making headlines, or trying to impress...this about sharing a 'gift' each day with the world...to lift the spirit of people when they read this blog, to show them the beauty in the ordinary.
"And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don't believe in magic will never find it." Raold Dahl

PATTERN




This week's photo challenge from Chania at Razmataz
is Pattern

Patterns in nature are overwhelmingly governed by a clever mathmatical equation called
The Golden Mean, or The Golden Ration or Divine Proportion.

Essentially this:


and it appears in the pattern of everthing from the nautilus shell,


to the segments of a grapefruit.


It's found in the patterns of design in Notre Dame,



the parthenon


and even in Da Vinci's Last Supper.



Charles-Édouard JeanneretLe Corbusier, the Swiss architect and designer is said to have adhered closely to this pattern when designing his furniture.





I know this is a photo-challenge, so to make it a legitimate entry the last photo is mine, taken in the kitchen of our house in Florida.
