The Texture of our Days

The weather has been uncharacteristically mild this winter. Here we are in the middle of February and there's been very little snow, and a fair bit of rain. Above freezing temperatures keep it feeling as if we're alternating between late November and late March, having skipped the three months in between.

I've posted images of texture before. It's a subject I like to explore with the camera lens every now and then. Like then. And like now...



February sunflower
This is what remains of the sunflower which was previously posted here and here.





sappy tree2
This pine tree has had its share of injuries. The sap which oozes from its wounds becomes colourful in the bright sunlight.





macro bark
A different tree. I'm likin' this lichen.





oak leaves in February
A couple of oak leaves think it might still be autumn. Who can blame them for clinging to the season?





ornamental cabbage
An ornamental cabbage - dry and withered in the cold but still beautiful in the sunshine.





inside a stem
This is a peek inside of a broken, hollow stem. Its colours and textures caught my eye and how could I not share?



That's it for this post. I'm still terribly behind with my blog visits but I'll make my way around to your posts eventually. Thanks for being so understanding and thanks always for stopping by with your kind comments. You're so appreciated.
