Weekly Photo Challenge: Texture

Enjoy this gallery of textures!

Lemon cookies have a nice crackled effect and the dripped icing adds additional texture.

Rainbow effect on my rough textured counter.

Love the texture of toasted bread!

Mock stone/cement texture of this plaque complements the smooth skin of the tomato.

Who can resist the texture of a Dutch apple pie?

Great example of texture is my cranberry nut bread.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Relic

War is a relic of our Neanderthal ways.

We all know better and have evolved a bit since then, but instead of stopping this stupidity we use any technical advancements for more diabolical weaponry.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Summer Lovin’

I love all the birds and animals in my yard every summer. Had to completely give up on the vegetable garden this year, but did get a few red and black raspberries. Enjoy the little chipmunk I bated with a couple of the berries.

ape art drawing monkey Orangutan pastels weekly photo challenge

Weekly Photo Challenge: Work of Art

My sister wanted me to take back the pastel drawing of an Orangutan I had given her many years ago so that others would not take it after she passed. She always loved monkeys and collected them and gave it a place of honor on her walls till her death at the beginning of this year.

One of my brothers then asked me if he could have it when I come up to visit him in the future. I guess it must be a work of art and you never know what you are capable of until you try something. Some of my art is mediocre and some I do really like. When I was young, I hated everything I created. Somehow I got over that as I got older. Then the pendulum swung the other way for the fact that I loved everything I did, even if it was crap!
