The dragon fly

Dragonfly on garden trail

When designing or laying the stones for garden pathways, I've commonly seen linear or geometric patterns. I'm in awe of how creative folks can take the most common place elements and bring to life an object of beauty, purely out of their vision and imagination.

Did some worker laying the paving blocks for a garden trail, get inspired by the dragon flies flitting around her and decide whimsically to incorporate this into the paving pattern ?

When I shared this image with our landscape architect, she shared similar ideas she had come across:

Butterfly

Turtle

Ive seen leaf prints done on bare concrete floors, however the effect of pavings stones shaped like leaf litter was a novel idea.
