rich

Walls, wood, frames, images. Color, patterns, gestures, textures. There's just something about the way all of these elements compliment each other and help weave together the tapestry of who we are. Of where we stand. Of what we believe. There's power in all this stuff. History. Resolve. Strength. Womanhood.

Share impossibly rich textures with us today. Something that begs to be noticed by simply being exactly what it's supposed to be, where it's supposed to be.

First let me say, I am seriously lusting after those boots!

As for my SS submission today, I love the way a photograph I snapped on a dark windy night managed to catch a look of expectation in a child's eyes.

a wonderful photo -- can tell, without knowing them, that they are interesting, creative, and unqiue!

for rich textures, sometimes you just have to look down:

dude! i love this photo. rich is the perfect word
{and sheri's boots totally rock the house}
We found our dining room table in an antique shop in Edinburgh, massively battered and bruised. It was originally used as a cook's table in the kitchen of an awesome old building in the city which was a school for deaf children. As well as the natural grain of the wood, the surface is covered in scores and marks from being used as a chopping block. It feels like the wood contains a lot of history, and the surface texture is a good expression of that.

A Daisy for me is like a plain white t-shirt, it "fits" for so many different occasions...

The snow didn't last long. I was intrigued by the delicate look of the paper-thin blossoms dusted lightly with crystal white fluff. The texture in the spent blossoms was what urged me to snap the picture.

Sometimes removing the colour emphasizes the vast array of textures:

I love the texture of painted surfaces that are weathered and old

there is always great textured in the old and abandoned. wish i had her original photo here for better quality but you can see there is richness in the old leather, the wooden floors thick with dust and the cracking plaster on the walls.

Love it Tracey! Wood floors are the best, I wish we had more of them in SoCal. Around here there's lots of this beach grass for texture: http://www.flickr.com/photos/trudem/4367304260/

Underneath the rough outer bark of Ponderosa Pines there is a golden organic jigsaw of more delicate bark. It's not only interesting to look at, but the bark smells of butterscotch and vanilla!

There is just something so rich and wonderful about the cowboy way. When I saw the textured floor and how the horse was standing I knew I had to capture it. Hope you enjoy!

there's some serious style going on in that photo!

There is often beautiful texture to be found in decay:

I'm a day late to this party. But I have enjoyed all of these beautiful textures from those boots, that floor and those three great skirts at the top all the way down the entries and I wanted to tag on one of mine to this lovely thread.

This is known that money makes us autonomous. But what to do if somebody has no cash? The one way only is to get the <a href="http://lowest-rate-loans.com/topics/personal-loans">personal loans</a> or just short term loan.
