Sunday Selections

Kim over at Frog Ponds Rock hosts the Sunday Selections meme, a chance to find some photos just languishing on your computer and share them.

Trees always fascinate me with the texture of their barks, so there are a lot of them on my computer - the selection here are just a few - lol. Then there is the form and texture of plants as well, and general flotsam and jetsam that the ocean's deliver to our shores. Hopefully I haven't gone overboard as I realise there a few here to look at.












And the last one here is a fossil in rock in the Devonian Reef in WA's north west.

  1. Such tactile shots. You made my fingers itch with wanting to touch the bark and feel its texture. And the fern.

  2. I like the bleeding of the newly sawn trunk and the spanish moss growing on the fence post.

  5. Textures make grate photos. You feel like you can touch the bark. I like the fern frond in the middle. Nice way to break up the pics.

  6. I really want to reach through and touch that first photo and find out if it is as soft as it looks.

  8. Thanks everyone for all your wonderful comments. It is embarrassing how many photos I have of bark textures - these are only a few - but it intrigues me so much.

  9. Tree bark is intriguing, so I don't mind looking at lots of photos of different textures. There are some gorgeous ones there. Lovely.

  10. Doesn't nature do fascinating things? One of my favourite honeymoon photos is of an elaborate mineral deposit in rock that forms part of the WA coastline. Some of your bark pictures reminded me of that.

  11. I have a large native cherry tree here that has beautiful textured bark. I am going to press some clay into the bark and see what happens.

  12. @Carolina - thanks for commenting on my bark shots, I just get so intrigued by the variety.

    @Tenille - yes nature is fascinating - it naturally does things we try and mimic but I don't think we ever get close. Where in WA did you honeymoon?

    @frogspondrock - I didn't know we had native cherry trees, would love to see a photo one day.
