You and me both, Brenda. As soon as I saw the topic I knew what I was going to do.  |

Some sort of moss on a tree trunk stump. Horse chestnut tree bark.
whippet, you did a great job capturing two rather different textures, courtesy of Mother Nature.

Noticed the depth and texture of this bush as I was just coming in...... Helen, glad you noticed this. I really like how the play of light and shadows added depth to the texture. |

While I was taking this picture I had a more abstract genre in mind than texture. Nevertheless, it may still fit with the texture theme. The image shows about two square feet of ice fragments floating on a riverbank (Outaouais River, near Ottawa). The picture was taken last Sunday, in the middle of a warm but grey and windy Spring afternoon. It is a color picture, taken in RAW format. It has not been converted to black and white. I used the basic panel and the tone curve tool in Lightroom, mainly to increase the contrast. A little bit of detail and clarity were added. Where the picture was taken, the river is almost three kilometres wide. The week before, from the same point of view, it seemed totally covered with one single large piece of ice. Now, there were only a few feet of loose fragments floating along the shore. The waves beating the shore were imitating the sound of the sea. Following the movement of the water, as an answer to its call, ice fragments hitting each other were adding to the natural rhythm of the waves a nice and gentle high-pitched accompaniment, as would have done an animated glass chime. So, simply put: this is an abstract black and white color texture with a gentle glass chime sound wave.
Fauxtoto, what a capture! It is Texture brought to another level. And your description of the scene you saw? Poetic! I can almost hear the sound of the waves and feel the rhythm of the water and the ice fragments as they interact with each other.
I don't remember you participating in the WP challenge before. So, welcome aboard! Looking forward to your continuing participation. If you haven't done so yet, you may want to check . . .

Texture created by rippled water and tree reflection kdcintx, great capture! We don't see this kind of texture too often. It is the kind of image which keeps one going back to it again and again. |

A sampling of textures from a walk in the park today - mostly wood but I couldn't resist throwing in some spring flowers (and some Jodi frames)! Tony Tony, great sample of textures. (Even the flowers have texture.) I really like the mix of hard texture (wood) and soft texture (flowers). Well done! |

The belly side of an Armadillo kdcintx, this image takes the top honors. WOW! How did you manage to get this shot? Very unusual interpretation of Texture (and I love it!). |

Judy, you captured a priceless combination -- old, dilapidated building and texture. Beautiful image! Well done! |

The word "texture" rang an immediate bell in my mind. I have always been fascinated by the bark of trees and enjoyed admiring their many different textures. Here's one I noticed today.
Brenda
Brenda, you have great eyes. This is quite a texture! I love how the bark seems to have repeating patterns. Another great job!
BTW, I am also fascinated by the bark of trees. Mother Nature can put up quite a show in this area.

I didn't notice the texture of the soft feathers until I came home and downloaded my pictures. I want to reach out and stroke her! agg angela, amazing capture! I can almost feel the softness of the bird's feathers. I love the simplicity of your image and the negative space. Great job! |

Another interpretation. This is the highly textured abode of a Marsh Wren, who was busy adding fluff from the bullrushes to her nest. agg angela, another great interpretation of Texture. I love how you composed your shot. It gives us a close view of the abode/nest of a Marsh Wren. |
