(Day 244) Under my nose

I was playing with my grandson early this evening - he's almost 8 months old and is crawling. sort of. He gets up on all fours and launches himself forward, and repeats - fairly quickly now. But I was carrying him around, showing him neat things, like this old cow-bell-like thing hanging in the front hall that makes a lot of noise, the colourful fish in the aquarium, the cuckoo clock ...

And as I was walking past the front door, I noticed a pattern in the glass that caught my eye. I've probably seen it a thousand times before but hadn't really seen it, or perhaps the light was different this time. At any rate, I knew what my subject for today was going to be.

Note: I will likely be unable to post or visit any of your sites for the next few weeks. I will continue to shoot every day of course but access to the internet may be very limited or non-existent. If I don't have access, I will catch up with posting and visits when I return.

(Day 83) Symmetry

Although we're always looking for a different angle in photography, symmetry can also be pleasing to the eye, and is actually a necessity quite often. Can you imagine if people had their nose placed on the right side of their face, or one ear on the back of their head and another on the left ? Just wouldn't look right, would it.

Symmetry can be found in man-made structures as well as in nature. I found symmetry in both today.

Then there was this photo that looked to me like a sound wave or a seismic graph:

But that's only because I rotated it 90 degrees. Here's what the original looked like:
