Loving Textures in Nature

I walked in the woods of a county park as well as the woods of my home a few days ago. It was after a rain, so the wetness boosted the contrast of the textures. Have you ever noticed how interesting the trunks of trees can be...even those lying horizontally on the ground?










Some trees are even smiling at me!

  2. I love those lying-down trees. And I always look for lichen and fungi. They're visual treasures. Thank you for the pictures.

    2. One of my artist friends cast a section of an ash in bronze. It's wonderful and I now really recognize it when I see it growing. She made me see it so much better than I had. Do you have pictures of your glass castings?
