It is a beautiful spring morning in North Carolina. I took my camera outside to capture several images with texture and found this small spring shoot of leaves on the trunk of an older sweet gum tree. The softness of the leaf surface contrasts nicely with the roughness of the gray bark.

This odd little gazebo like structure was in the middle of a plaza on the waterfront in the port city of Fort-de-France in Martinique. You can see bands of different colored and textured paver tiles on the plaza with the matching textured steps up to the covered surface. I also like the smooth texture of the roof vs. the rough and rusty texture of the columns.
Thanks again to Narami at ‘De Monte Y Mar‘ for sponsoring this weekly challenge.

Today I feature the Rock of Bethsheba Rock on Bathesheba Beach on the east coast of Barbados. The waves never cease on this side of the island that faces the Atlantic Ocean. The waves have undercut the rock to make this beautiful formation.
With the ocean in the foreground and the palms in the background, you have quite a mixture of different textures.
My entry for this week continues with pictures from St. Lucia. Here we have the cliffs on the northern side of Soufrière Bay, opposite the Piton mountains.

Here is week two of the North Carolina Zoo on a warm Sunday afternoon in February.
Come join in the weekly fun at Narami’s ‘De Monte Y Mar‘ blog. This challenge is really a great deal of fun.
We had an 80 degree day on February 12th in our area of North Carolina so we decided to go to the North Carolina Zoo:
It is the larges zoo in the USA when measured by acreage and has two sections: North America; and Africa. It being the middle of winter, we decided that most of the African exhibits would be closed, so we visited the North America section this time.
Here are just a couple of my photos with some great texture.

I want to take you underground for today’s Tuesdays of Texture. Specifically, I want to take you inside St. Michael’s Cave in the bowels of Gibraltar. What nature can do to with millions of years to craft its work is simply amazing:
I promised several of my followers a post from our trip to Badlands National Park in South Dakota. Well, Tuesdays of Texture seems to be an appropriate venue for this post. I have 20 pictures from the 50+ shots I took that I would like to share. My featured image is the last of these 20 photos chronologically but it has overwhelming texture.
Feel free to skim through the photos and let me know what you think and which is your favorite.
As always, many thanks to Narami at De Monte Y Mar for sponsoring this weekly challenge. Why not hop over to her blog and join in on the fun.
