Found Texture

I think I am a texture junkie.  I didn't realize this until I participated in Kat's Exploring With a Camera Series topic - Found Texture.  I've taken so many close ups of trees, rocks, sticks and peeling paint!

When I think of texture, I think about how something feels.  Cold, rough, and grainy.  Silky, sleek and smooth.  Dry, coarse,flaky.  I finally narrowed down my choices and decided to include some photos of stone, cement and brick textures.

  2. Your photos are fabulous. I see you're a relatively new blogger - welcome to the blogging world. I can't believe you already found a couple of sites that I just found and I've been blogging forever - Photo Art Friday and Kim Klassen. I'll be participating in my first PAF this week! Looking forward to your contribution there too - I'm sure it'll be cool.
