Textures and Patterns of Cienega Creek

This post features a selection of texture/pattern photos taken in and around the Cienega Creek Nature Preserve, near Vail, Arizona. All photos were taken by me.

Tree seedlings and reeds in the morning sun.
Tree trunks and branches in the Winter.
The ribs of a dead Saguaro cactus.
Small fish in the creek swimming every which way.
A pattern of green and gold formed by Mesquite trees and dry seasonal underbrush.
The water’s bumpy surface forms a pattern reminiscent of stained glass.
The intricate pattern of trunks and branches amongst the foliage.
A complicated pattern of cracks left in the dried mud of the creek.
Mesquite leaves and branches in the sun.
Water flowing between a rock and water plants.
Yellowing leaves of an Ocotillo form a pattern like rays of the Sun.
A dense crop of plants growing in the water.
The churning muddy water of Cienega Creek during a flash flood.
The creek’s sandy bottom imaged through ripples on the water’s surface.
