Fractal Patterns



Patterns

The repeat of the pattern prompt today made me think of fractals.  Fractals are naturally occuring patterns that occur when a shape or process is subdivided and repeated. There are several fractal generators online, I was able to create the attached through a PBS tool, but there are other more complex versions.  It is interesting that these self-similar patterns are exhibited in frost and snowflakes, as well as broccoli and certain shells.
