Lens Artists Challenge #397 – Texture

Lens Artists Challenge #397 – Texture

I was so busy last week that I managed not to post to Anne’s challenge on Texture. I had even selected images for the post. Now I’m trying to catch up. Anne asks us to show images “where texture plays an integral part.”

The featured image above, and to the left, shows a closeup view of a sparkly piece of rock. This rock was exposed on the Connecticut shore of the Long Island Sound. The appearance and apparent composition suggest granite, more likely since granite is ubiquitous in New England.

Trees usually show wonderfully varied textures.

The bark of the Snow Tree is a wonderful exemplar of texture(s)!

The bark of the cork tree is something to behold! (And to hold! It feels soft and spongy.)

Trees, trees, more trees…

It’s not all trees, though! This winter grass offers some nice texture.

The texture in these needles is unmistakable.

This is Queen Anne’s Lace.

To close, this triptych of small late winter/early spring views.

That’s my (belated) offering for Anne’s challenge, Texture. I’ve already posted for this week’s Challenge on Color. I hope to catch up completely by this time next week.
