Weekly Photo Challenge:Geometry
Friends, Geometry is all around us in nature. When I first took this photograph, i loved the way the Common Loon was suspended in a sea of sine waves. Upon further study (sine waves on water), I learned that these waves are more correctly called trochoidal shapes and are narrower at the peak than a true sine wave. A geometry lesson for me. Never heard of a trochoid shape before. til Tomorrow MJ

Oh my, you lost me at wave, LOL! I wish I would see a loon up close and personal. Such a beautiful creature with its geometric black and white shapes!
