Week 135 Photo Challenge: Pattern

It's been a month since my last photo challenge post.  My Guy as usual has been ready for me to post since the week after the last post.  Grad Girl and I were the ones that drug this last challenge out.  It's not a particularly hard one. 

I just wasn't motivated to get any photos and Grad Girl is in the middle of writing her thesis and trying to keep up with her Industrial Statistics class.  We finally got our act together this week and I have 3 photos to share.  

Pattern has a lot of definitions according to the Merriam Webster dictionary.  My photo fits the "a natural or chance configuration".  

Kate: Circles and Squares

The square slots of the wine rack from a definitely pattern and so do the round tops of the bottles.  Don't you think this meets the definition above?  

My Guy's photo also fits the definition above.  

My Guy: Reflected Pattern

As the weather has warmed up My Guy has been taking the chance to get out and enjoy it via walks after work.  He's been taking some gorgeous sunset photos this week.  

Grad Girl really hasn't had time to concentrate on getting any photos. She has class two days a week, homework and an exam for class. Plus she's teaching 3 organic laboratories with all the associated grading. All of that and trying to write her thesis.  So I took a gander through the photos she's texted me over the last month and found one that fit a different definition of "pattern".  

Grad Girl: Animal Behavior

Queenie has a thing for pens or pen shaped items. Plus if Grad Girl is home, this kitty has to be somewhere close to her.  Studying while the cat is trying to play with your eraser (at one point Queenie had it in her mouth) is funny, but also frustrating.  According to Merriam Webster as pattern can also be  "a reliable sample of traits, acts, tendencies or other observable characteristics of a person, group or institution".  That doesn't mention animals, but I'm sure it still applies.  Don't you think so too?  

I drew the next challenge card and it may take us another month to pull photos together for this one. 

Should be an interesting set of photos.
