This week, Anne is our guide with a a very textured challenge: Texture! She tells us that texture really adds that visual kick to a surface—think of how rough, smooth, gritty, or soft something looks in a flat image. Check out her amazing site for some awesome tips!

This set I took with my iPhone a few days ago while I was sitting on my patio, enjoying the warm sun day. As I pondered what to post, I looked around, taking in the surroundings of my garden, looking for textures. And to be honest everything is textured. Inspired by some of the things around me, I snapped a few shots, . Afterward, I went inside to find a few more images to contrast with the shots I took, hoping to curate a selection that would better resonate with this challenge.
We’d love to see your images that highlight texture! You might be surprised by how many you actually have. When you post, don’t forget to link back to Anne’s original post and add the Lens-Artists tag.
Last week I had great fun seeing your pairings with pictures and quotes! Many I had never seen before and many recognized but with new surprising combos. Thanks you to all who participated! Next week I will be presenting the challenge. I hope you will join me.
