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.

Photo editing is fun! Bonnie at Pixel Dust PhotoArt has many textures to share and is very generous in sharing the details of her photo editing.

I edited this photo and decided to add a little phrase that my mother was always saying when I was young.
I know this is a rooster, and he doesn't lay eggs... but I liked him.

colors for Kat ...

When I am working on..nix that..when I am playing on creating a new post, I often create a folder on my destop and put my photos there until I am ready to post.  For the last few weeks I have had a folder on my desktop which I have named "colors for Kat".  Visit The Kat Eye View of The World for details and examples, both from Kat and with links to many photographs and creative, lovely blogs.


In the color wheel part 2 - one of the areas we are exploring is complementary colors, or opposites on the color wheel.    Blues and oranges, yellows and purples are opposites on the color wheel, and that's where this post has led me...

Hope you have a chance to enjoy your weekend and all of the beautiful colors in our world !!
