Textures are everywhere, in everything if you look closely and really contemplate the esthetics of common everyday objects.
Ordinary objects of olden days …
Not overlooking what’s right beneath you …
Enjoying the variety in the outdoors …
And the many textures within new constructions in the neighbourhood.

These close-ups were all captured during mine & Coleman’s latest visit to (I was so worried you lay down. You don’t just – Apple iPhone’s Siri trying to type what was said to my grandson, oops) our local museum’s nature trail.
We started this visit with a walk through the Dinosaurs Exhibitions …
Then we moved on the Nature Trail and a walk around the Pond …
And ended our visit with a stroll through the Garden in The Farm …
New life is slowly starting to arrive and in the next few weeks new growth will begin to emerge in abundance.

Hope y’all had a pleasant Leap Day. I know Coleman and I did. First day in a while with no rain, so it was a good day to venture outside and visit the Schiele Museum, one of Coleman’s favourite places.
Conveniently, it gave me an opportunity for capturing some interesting moments on this Leap/Last Day. Therefore, here are my last on the card shot for February.

Shadows can be seen everywhere, at least when the sun is shining brightly. Shadows materialize along walkways, piers, and trails as well as anywhere imaginable.
Here are my entries for Debbie’s OWS Challenge this week which calls for us to show our SHADOW.

Wanna Share a Bite?
When Coleman and I visited The Farm On at The Schiele Museum on Tuesday Mike and Lucky were busy chomping away. It was feeding time and they were hungrily munching their food to their hearts (and belly’s) contentment.
I do not believe I would partake in their diet, however, they did appear to enjoy it themselves.

These are Collard Green Plants grown at The Gardens in The Farm at The Schiele Museum of Natural History in Gastonia, North Carolina. Many people in the South eat Collard Greens on a regular basis. Personally, I did not grow up as a child eating Collard Greens even though I was born in the South. My mom never fixed them. Now we ate plenty of Spinach and other types of greens just not Collards. What are your thoughts on eating Collard Greens?

When Coleman and I took an early morning hike along the Nature Trail at The Schiele Museum of Natural History, just before Thanksgiving, I was amazed at the spectacular view of the tremendous number of leaves which had fallen on the ground and in the Pond. It was such an amazing sight I had to capture the moment with my camera. This slideshow is my entry for Dawn’s Festival of Leaves and Jez’s Water Water Everywhere.
