Your pictures on the theme of 'texture'
- Published
We asked our readers to send in their best pictures on the theme of "texture". Here is a selection of the photographs we received from around the world.
Matthew Logan: "The skin of this green crested basilisk at the National Zoo in Washington DC is a texture-lover's dream."
Claire Hardgrave: "A random accident: pebble vs patio door."
Mike Wright: "I left this leaf soaking in bleach for a few days. It removed all the colour and left the structure."
Delia Godfrey: "Nature gently softening the hard blocks of my driveway by softly framing them."
Katrina Crawford: "Every autumn, huge piles of sycamore seeds appear in our garden. We scoop them all up, or so we think, until spring when dozens of little sprouts appear."
Tom Holloway: "Aerial shot of this group of toadstools caught my eye at a National Trust, Berrington Hall in Herefordshire."
Siobhan McKenzie: "Hedgehog or fungi?"
David Dobbing: "Captured at Singapore Gardens by the Bay. Housed in one of the two super glass-dome conservatories, a grand showcase of the plant kingdom."
Annette Potter: "Icicles on a frosty morning in the New Forest."
Jacqui Dimmock: "A close-up photo of my husky, Mishka, showing the fine texture of her facial fur. Alas, her fur did not look this clean after her muddy afternoon walk."
An-Son Vu Wurdemann: "The unique texture of skin."
Yvonne Warriner: "It's conker season. The rough exterior shell protects the smooth horse-chestnut inside."
Adrian Lavery: "While in a wool shop in Moira, Northern Ireland."
Ben Kendrick: "A dog's chew toy."
Richard Sekula: "It is not smooth at all."
Karina Wetherbee: "I call this the Fibonacci Cone. The symmetry and texture of pinecones has always fascinated me."
Steve Wise: "An unusual use for buttons. On display in an art gallery in Tuscany."
Scott Green: "Using a macro lens I found this little chap weaving through a forest of moss."
Sirsendu Gayen sent in this picture of tree bark.
Peter Leyden: "Old metal type for sale at a stand in Covent Garden, London."
