Being outdoors a lot provides opportunities to experience nature in a personal way. The camera is usually close by and when I see something that peaks my interest, I try to make a picture of it. Georgia O'Keeffe once said that unless art is good in an abstract way, it doesn't matter what the subject is. Okay, so that is a more-or less quote. What she meant is the building blocks of art need to be present in order to have a decent work of art.
Textures, of course, are an element of art and one photographers really need to pay close attention to and can, by itself, be an interesting subject. (just as color and pattern are). So all this rambling is leading to two images from a while back, but photographs I like which feature the above mentioned elements. Maybe that's why I still like them, even a coupleyears later.

| Barley Texture |
Barley, our favorite hunting lab, is always by our side and about as good as they get. Cold wet weather doesn't seem to phase here one bit.

| Rooster Feathers |
The rooster pheasant has to be about the beautiful bird in North America and one of the hardest to harvest at some points. I'm always in awe of when holding them in my hands.
