Cute little snail, CLive :-)

@ Henk:  We do have one of those maps, but we haven't been using it.  When we travel it isn't usually a lot of miles!  We like to take our time.  Camp four or five days, then drive 40 miles to the next campground.  :)  So far we've had the motorhome in Washington, Oregon, California and Arizona.  The other trips we've taken were in the car.  We still have our house, but spend most of the summer in the motorhome in a local campground, just for the fun of it!  :)  I've seen those maps, though, and it truly is impressive to see someone with most of the states filled in!

I braved rain and cold today and found this bit of texture lying in the garden. Needless to say I brought it inside to photograph it!

Clive.

Great that you brough this marvel inside your house to photograph it.

Superb capture Clive.

God Bless.

helanker ( ) posted Tue, 10 July 2012 at 3:29 PM

That is a lovely little texture you found there Clive. Super :)

auntietk ( ) posted Wed, 11 July 2012 at 12:53 PM

What a pretty, lacy texture, Clive!  Beautiful.  I like the dof, too.

I've never tried the forum before...it's about time I do. :~)

This was over 3200 pixels in width. That 800X600 really hurt the resolution so I'll see how this looks. Deciding then whether a second is a go.

I might be out of my league this round for I am macro less...LOL!

Welcome to the challenge Dana.

Amazing captures both.

God Bless.

helanker ( ) posted Thu, 12 July 2012 at 2:16 AM

WOW! Dana, these are two awesome and very different texture shots. Great for the challenge.

auntietk ( ) posted Thu, 12 July 2012 at 11:43 PM

@ Dana:  Texture doesn't mean macro!  You've posted two excellent examples of texture, and it doesn't matter what lens you use.  Terrific shots!

Impressing textures uploads are running around here for my eyes :)

Now I know there is an 'Ed', making wonderful captures,
and knowing Tara has a lovely colored quilt, which floated a time in the air, before landing here in this challenge', LOL!

Arturo really impressed me again with his chenut-textures. Marvelous!

Oh, and all those glasses from Helle, they are such a stunning find.
It makes me so curious, to fantasize about what people might once one of these glasses wear on his or her nose.

Wishing you all a great weekend!

Hi. Here is my second this week. Can you guess what it is?

kgb224 ( ) posted Fri, 13 July 2012 at 10:44 AM · edited Fri, 13 July 2012 at 10:45 AM

A feather Helle.

Superb capture and upload.

God Bless.

dochtersions ( ) posted Fri, 13 July 2012 at 10:58 AM

I'm with Clive.
This was what I saw immediately with my photographic-eye.
And I like your textures very much, pinsharp!
Now we have to guess from which bird it is.
I suspect a dove (?)

helanker ( ) posted Fri, 13 July 2012 at 11:32 AM

Yes, a feather and... from a Pigeon. We have every day two fat pigeons to visit the bird feeding tree. :)

auntietk ( ) posted Fri, 13 July 2012 at 11:53 AM

I love your feather, Helle.  Beautiful texture!

EVERYONE!!! What amazing images! I have once again stopped getting ebots for the challenge thread.... And I am so busy with other things that if I do not get nudged by an ebot, I forget to pop in!

Wow - so many wonderful textures posted since I last popped in! I will have to do something myself again! :)

OK - this croc's skin is pure texture and then the added dried leaves, cement pond and water adds even more! My first attempt for week 2!

Here's my second shot for week 2.  Denim shorts against the quilt (real color this time!).  I love the elastic affects the way denim fades.

dochtersions ( ) posted Fri, 13 July 2012 at 12:47 PM

Well Helle, a pigeon is a dove too, right? We here have just one name for it.

Oh Carin, I would love to see this picture in a larger version, it is so GREAT, full of colors and lovely and special textures. Do you have this one in your galery ?(if I may ask this?)

Lol about Tara's jeans, I miss your legs, dear friend.
Did you forgot them on your hollday?
Anyway : Great idea and textures, just perfect!

dochtersions ( ) posted Fri, 13 July 2012 at 12:52 PM

Oh dear, I now see I missed the stunning uploads of Clive and Dana.
The beautiful snail, and the lampion.
Strange, here they have an orange color, how is it that yours became such lovely white, Clive?

Your rust is amazing looking, Dana.
And I always admire the textures on your fantastic landscape shots in your galery.
They are looking as great adventures and freedom, with so much space around them.

Meisiekind ( ) posted Fri, 13 July 2012 at 1:12 PM

Love the denim Tara! Oh how I wish I could be there with you guys!

Jacomina, I do not have this specific one in my gallery... There are other croc images though!

They're Bill's denim shorts, but of course he wasn't in them at the time!  He'd left them neatly folded on the bed, but I rearranged them to be more photogenic.  :P  I have no idea where he was or what he was wearing in lieu of his favorite shorts!  :D

I hate to speculate what he was wearing Tara!!! 

Maybe his flip-flops???

Love those rocks, Arturo, and the little friend!  :)

 

@ "the girls" :  Bill isn't likely to blush.  He loves attention!  He isn't reading this thread, but I'll tell him about it when he gets back from running his errands.  (He WAS wearing those shorts when he left this morning, btw!  LOL!)  He'll get a kick out of it that we're talking about his socks!  :P

Arturo = those little rocks are awesome! You just gave me an idea for my second shot this week!

Helle - thank you! I'm glad you didn't actually say the croc was beautiful... I did giggle at your sense of humor!

Tara - keep us posted on the socks! :D

Awesome pepples in your post, Celart. They look exciting like little jewelry :-)

dochtersions ( ) posted Sat, 14 July 2012 at 4:04 AM

Hi Arturo, a most beautiful colored texture shot you've posted here.
Actually I had the same idea as Helle***, that your textures are showing a lot of jewelery, and I think a crab can be seen on it too.

*** that is the one who can not stop typing on her computer, even though she has such a large collection of glasses, she has to identify the letter 'piece by piece'.

Just kidding of course.

Wishing you all a lovely weekend!

Arturo's upload reminded me of this. A small pebble with various textured species of lichen growing on it - right in the middle of the Namib Desert!

I simply Love that stone, Carin.

Many years back we were on a holiday in the north of sweeden and a few kilometers into Norway and in the forests, there were many places with mosses and PLENTY of stones like that. I was totally amazed by the beauties of them, just like I am with this one :) Unfortunately they hadnt invented a digital Camera yet and my poor little konica pop didnt give very good shots.

auntietk ( ) posted Sat, 14 July 2012 at 2:21 PM

Namibia is beautiful in both its vastness and its details.  What a beautiful stone, with such a variety of life!  The textures are wonderful.  :)

 

Right now Bill is wearing short white socks.  He's about to put on sturdy lace-up shoes over them and go out and work on the wall.  :D

Tara i can just confirm what you are saying of Namibia.

I was there for a full year during my second year of Militiry service.

I have fond memories of Namibia.
