Fabulous! That feather on the stalk is especially eye-catching. I also really like the top of the metal mushroom. For some reason it reminds me of the world.
I like that idea. It was a very desirable metal mushroom in amongst a Wizard of Oz garden.
The metal mushroom shows how textures alone make an interesting photo. A great collection Susan. Thank you.

Great topic, Jude. I was so pleased when I saw you would be hosting. I was thinking as I collected these that texture is almost the mark of any decent picture.
A fabulous selection! I like how you’ve included softer textures like the feather and gorgeous peony 🙂
It was funny to see the feather caught on a stalk like a strange kind of flower.
These are all amazing photos, and even more so when shown together! 😃
Each contrast seems to highlight the others.
Lovely photos. Intrigued by the fossil and lichen
I think it might be a kind of free-roaming lichen in the bottom picture too.
Nice gallery Susan! I liked the cactii the most.
They’re such curious plants, aren’t they.
Yes, they are 😀
An awesome and thorough collection of visualizing texture. The close up of the clematis looks like sea anemones. I love the heart “hotel” and the peeling paint.
…And the feather was a special find.
It was like a natural weathervane.
Wow Susan beauty of images here. Love the Feather at the first shot👌👌🔥🎥
I’m glad you liked that one.
I had a totally irrational urge to touch everything! The peony was a gasp for the sudden bright beauty of it, but my favorite for spending time on was the lichens on driftwood, which I found very soothing.
That was really remarkable. I admired it in a garden in Florida. I liked the contrast with the one below it, which is from Llandudno in Wales. Although I can see if they just come across as being largely the same, they are quite different for those of us who linger and their textures are different – the washed wood, open and yielding, almost like loofah; the rock, solid and ancient, although you feel you could just pick the fossils out if you were minded to.
