Today I’m participating in Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge and her theme is “texture”. It can be hard to photograph the texture of a subject. Sometimes you just have to remember or imagine what it feels like in real life to get the idea. Here are a few selections to illustrate various textures, some of them more pleasant than others.
I don’t think you can’t do a photo post on texture without tree bark. I find the patterns of some tree barks wonderful, but I’d hate to scrape my skin on them. 🙂
The trunk of this cork oak tree looks and feels a lot softer than an oak or pine tree trunk.
The manzinata tree bark peels off as the tree trunk and branches grow larger. The soft and curled shavings make for some interesting texture to look at and touch.
I’ve never touched the fur of a lemur but I bet it’s pretty soft. Look how fluffy it looks in the sunshine. By the way, I still have to find the time to share more photos of this lemur and his buddies, who seem to enjoy the San Diego sun tremendously.
Finally you’ve got to admire (but probably not touch) the gelatinous feel of this sea jelly, which allows it to move around the ocean with the current with minimal effort. I do have more photos of sea jellies to show you also, and a funny story to share about that day. More in a later post!
