Hi all 😃 My entry for this week’s challenge, set by Jude of Cornwall in Colours: Textures.
Sometimes textures can only be seen up close, so for Judes fantastic challenge, I thought I’d go down to the macro level with textures & look at the beauty more closely; starting with moss.
Pine cones
Tree bark
Fading rose
Closer & Closer & Closer
Close-Up pattern 
Metal Filings
Looking at some frozen textures…
Frozen dew on grass
Melting snow
Hoar frost
…and finally some textural fun with Lensy. These next shots show the rough with the smooth; the roughness of the bark with the soothness of Lensy…
…& sitting on a bed of moss.
These last 3 shots show some textures magnified by Lensy; frost & moss.
I love the moss shots with lens, and the ice. It was a creative look at the texture challenge. I also liked how you zoomed in to show a more detailed look at you subject.
What a fantastic series, Jez! Love the waterdrops. But your Lensy photos are stunning!
Thanks, Jude 😊 The rose is one of my favourites as well 😃
A wonderful gallery of textures, Jez! And Lensy…well, I just love the many ways you use this ball to brighten up the ways we see the world!
Thanks, Leya 😊 Lensy certainly adds a different perspective sometimes 😃
I liked how you shared more than one shot of some of them. The fabric one was a surprise. It’s funny how our senses work together. I could perfectly feel the texture of the wilting rose bud.
Thank you so much; the rose bud is one of my favourites 😃
Maybe because we so rarely see it here, I was especially drawn to your frost and ice Jez! All of your images were beautifully captured as always
Thank you so much, Tina 😊
Wonderful response to the challenge. And Lensy is a STAR! what a great job he does showing the differences of smooth and textured and also magnifying the textures. Terrific!
Thanks, Anne 😊
Wow Jez. So many wonderful macros and Lensy did well too 🙂
Jez, I really like your gallery of textures. 😀
Very nice! My favorites – the second pinecone and the rose 😀
Thank you 😊 The rose is ceratinly a popular one 😃
Awesome twist on this challenge Jez. Loved them all, especially the last few with lensy.
A macro lens is indeed the way to go to really see the minute details. You have got a lot of fabulous images here and I love the way you use lensy. If I had to choose one image then it would be that rose. The texture of that dried petal is wonderful. Thank you for sharing some very unusual textures Jez.

Superb gallery, sweetie! The faded rose is my favourite 😍
