Textures - the lowcountry carpet
Charleston, S.C.
Is there anything more beautiful than nature? I've been on a texture kick this year. Still taking pictures of what I walk on. What a glorious lowcountry carpet!
The last one looks like a sheer work of art!Some of them have faded or were about to.But their charm caught on your frames will not.As a poet said "'Tis but a little faded flower,/But oh,how fondly dear!/'Twill bring me back one golden hour,Through many a weary year." The words are attributed to Ellen Clementine Howarth (1827-1899)
Beautiful pictures, Joan. The purple blossoms remind me of our days in Guadalajara (Mexico) when the jacaranda trees would drop their blossoms.
ReplyDeleteIt pays to look down every now and then. I have been meaning to ask, have you had a camera upgrade recently?
ReplyDeleteWow, that is one stunning set of photos - beautifully done! Happy Halloween by the by.
ReplyDeleteI could smell South Carolina looking at these photos! Great work! Now I want some green fried tomatoes!

Thanks folks! You are great! Sent me off to work smiling.
ReplyDeleteLes - no, so maybe I am improving? :)
I enjoy your photos each day - your texture "finds" are neat.
