Texture Thursday . . .

I know there are several sites that run a Texture Tuesday (or perhaps it is Thursday) - and each week I drool and 'ooh and awe' over the fabulous work posted. This week I decided to pull from my mounting collection of textures and take a stab at it.

I do not buy textures - or frames for that matter,
not because I don't value the time and talent it takes to create these artistic elements,
but because this is a hobby already inherently expensive and this aspect is a frivolous embellishment. (perhaps frivolous is too harsh - but the point is - it is an extra that is not essential to my progress in photography - but it certainly makes it more fun)
I am very appreciative of free offers by many generous artists,
and enjoy the challenge of finding my own through photographing rust, wood, and various geometric images.

Finding and applying textures is only limited by your imagination.
and the willingness to experiment.
