Textures in Nature

This week photo challenge is about Textures.  I couldn’t decide on just one photo so I decided to throw in a few.  I love texture.  Nature has so much of it… I hope you enjoy!

This first one was taken at the Paint Mines.  I almost stepped on the sneaky little cactus.  Now if that ain’t texture then I don’t know what is.

This last one is from Garden of the Gods.  I was trying to get a picture of a bird I saw, but I kept the blurry photo because I loved how well you could see the texture of the rock.
