When I think of texture I think close up and one the places I like taking close up photos is the seashore. I lovely pootling around a beach in winter hunting for treasure that has been delivered by the tide or has waited for millennia for my lens. So this weeks photo challenge was easy, simple photos from nature.

Great images to show texture, Gilly. Well done. 🙂
Stunning!
So many textures. The colored, as well as the black and white, show wonderfully. 😀
A really great selection of textures.
Beautiful collection of gifts from the sea.
Love those sand patterns!
Brilliant collection of natural textures, Gilly ~ I love the muted tones you’ve used, they add to the effects. I love beach combing too ~ when I was unpacking my art materials recently, I came across a whole crate of shells, sea~glass and driftwood that I’d collected from Devon beaches. Lost treasure, I was thrilled! 🙂
Great shots Gilly! Very artistic.
Excellent selection and great shots!
Ah, Gilly, gorgeous textures!!! 🙂
