Nature's Alphabets



As humans we seek order in our world, and it is always particularly pleasing to see things in nature that resonate with what is in our heads. An example is finding letters in nature. The photographer Kjell Sandveld has spent decades gathering the alphabet shown here from the wings of butterflies. You can also go to this page and click on the letters to see the alphabet formed by other creatures as well. In fact, a article in the Telegraph from the UK describes all writing as having sprung from nature.
