Textures


Texture is the most enduring and ubiquitous underpinning of form... certainly a calming, meditative and appealing world for both the eye and mind. ~ Lynda Lehmann

I have a few photos showing various textures as seen on my everyday walks or at home. I hope you enjoy them.

sunlit fuzzy sumac
The late November sun shone from behind this fuzzy sumac limb. You can see that the buds were already preparing for spring.




snapped limb
The ragged wooden bits of a snapped tree limb.




last oak leaf and shadow
A golden oak leaf and its shadow as seen on New Year's Day.




fluffs
These tall-growing plants seem to last through the winter. I'm not sure what they're called but Fluffs is as good a name as any.




Betty and baby4
Alongside the brick wall, mama and baby chipmunk wait patiently for the nut and seed buffet to begin.




peeling
The warm sunlight illuminates a strip of peeling tree bark.




trapped milkweed seed
The silken hairs of the milkweed seed are trapped on a dried plant stem.




sap and peanut
A pine tree in the park oozes blue sap. A peanut in the knot hole awaits one of our regular squirrel friends.




maple holding on
This maple leaf is still rich with colour in late November, despite being dry and brittle.




dino cordon blue
Last but not least, I thought that this partial portion of Chicken Cordon Blue resembled a dinosaur's head... or something.

I hope you enjoyed exploring these textures with me. More photos in a few days.
