Two Pictures Concerning Natural Symmetry-

     Here are two amazingly symmetrical and, unbelievably, natural figures. One of the oldest examples of symmetry in nature is the snowflake - so utterly perfect and, at the same time, fragile.   


    






















While a symmetrical flower isn't quite as well known, it's certainly just as timeless. It's all the same on both sides - 
even the veins match!











                             


                                

Some Sites I Think You'll Love!

     I found some totally amazing sites with the help of Google. They talk all about fractals, patterns, and numbers in math - it's  basically everything I've been trying to explain to all of you. They're all really cool, and I hope that you will like them. Nature By Numbers is the first one, Patterns In Nature is the second one, and Fractals In Nature is the last one. Enjoy!
