Tuesdays of Texture: Not sure what it is, but it doesn’t look great…

Down by the river in Confolens there’s a dead tree stump, with this growing on it. I’m guessing it’s a fungus of some sort.

Tuesdays of Texture: Celtic Cross

This Celtic cross was spotted in a display of ornaments in a garden centre. It’s pre-cast rather than carved, obviously, but nonetheless the texture is interesting.

Tuesdays of Texture: Coin

On a wet afternoon last week I was roaming the house with my macro lens and got this close-up image, which revealed the interesting texture of the central inset.

We must have picked up this Jordanian half-dinar coin when we visited Petra, almost five years ago.

Don’t get too excited: it’s worth about 70 US cents, or £0.65.

Tuesdays of Texture: Gnarled

It’s too early in the year to be able to say for sure what exactly this moss-covered tree (bush?) is, but it’s espaliered against part of the old ramparts of the town of Confolens – and obviously has been for some time:

Tuesdays of Texture: Shaggy

This Shetland pony was one of a small group that used to live in a field just down the lane from where we live. This might have been a bad hair day.

Tuesdays of Texture: Rusty Railings

These railings, around one of the larger houses in the local village of Mézières-sur-Issoire, could do with a fresh coat of paint; but would they necessarily look any better for it?
