We applied the box-counting method to analyze scale invariance for ramification patterns of trees and the spatial distributions of leaves and petals. The relationship between box size and the number of boxes necessary to cover the patterns of tree branches were found to follow the power low in a limited scale length of one decade. On the contrary, the distribution of Keyaki leaves showed scale invariance over a wide scale length of two orders when observation conditions were properly selected. Furthermore, professional photographs of Sakura blossom were found to show a wide range of scale invariance as the Keyaki leaves. These results suggest that the fractal nature of natural patterns is related to our feelings of beauty and /or comfort when observing them.
