"Patterns in nature" is a little different than "patterns created by nature" ! in the first case is/are) the pattern(s) already exists in nature. In the second case, there are patterns created by an existing object in nature
for example, 'the wind has makes patterns in the sand'
If this is the aim, I delete my entry , along with many others can do the the same!
Anyone a clarification, please !?
