Who Am I?

This makes me think of Masquerade from Andrew Lloyd Weber's musical The Phantom of the Opera, where everyone is dressed in costumes with masks. There's a dance routine set on a flight on stairs where everyone is using a fan as a prop.
Can you guess what this pattern is?

Why?

Wingtip

Sometimes it's better to look at one small detail than to try and swallow the big picture.

Hockney: Elk River Falls 2

This is another Hockey collage of Elk park falls. This time, instead of being under the falls, I'm on the big rock to the right of the falls. 1960s Effect produced on Picnik.

Hello, Best Friend

Horses are my favourite animal. I love fish, and dogs, but horses will always have a special place in my heart. They always have. I've never had the privilege of owning a horse, but I did take riding lessons for a while at a local barn. The moment when a horse turns its head and acknowledges you is one of the happiest things you can see. It's such a simple motion. Their eyes will widen and they will regard you with one side of their face, until they turn their whole body to get closer so you can give them a pet or a snack. That look always seems to say, 'Hello, Best Friend!'

Mountain Daisy

Yet another citizen of the secret valley. The closest daisy has beetles clustered over it. I wonder were they there to eat the plant or to pollinate? Friend or Foe?

Onion Twist

Here is another example of what I found in the secret valley. Wild Onions grow all over the place and are essentially a weed with a very pungent smell. The bulbs are very small but the stalks can get very tall. The smaller stalk was wrapped around the larger stalk for suppourt, almost like a kid holding their mom's hand.
