I'm not a loquacious person, but I am a word junkie. Donna at Garden Walk, Garden Talk has a biweekly meme called Word For Wednesday (WFW). Her words for this week are Pattern and Texture.
The concepts of both texture and pattern are intriguing. At what point does the pattern or texture decompose and become unrecognizable?
Is the essence of the Jupiter's beard still there or has it become an abstraction?
I've never noticed the pattern of silver lace vine going to seed until I started snapping photos for this WFW post. The photo is much blurrier than intended. Off to pack for short vacation, but I'm glad I got to participate in Word For Wednesday this week and hope to check out some other interpretations of the theme.
Enjoy your vacation. Your interpretation of pattern and texture are astonishing!
ReplyDeleteGreat questions. That is what the meme hopes to generate, having others discover and question. I bet you just made a few bloggers go out and really 'see' in their landscapes. What we see when we are really looking is always like a new experience.
ReplyDeleteSome nice choices of photos and some lovely ones.

These photos are simply lovely. Moving from summer to fall to winter (which seems to have dropped quickly on us in Northern Colorado), I love to watch how texture deconstructs to shape. Much as that enthralls me, I admit to some envy of the color still in your garden. Up here, Colorado has reverted to its millions of shade of brown and grey.
ReplyDeleteYou have me thinking now about how decomposition in flowers and leaves provides us with amazing textures and patterns, too. I enjoyed your take on the W4W very much!
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous vacation! Oh, how I wish I could go along! :) Love that pic with the gaura. I see both pattern and texture there. And the silver lace vine going to seed is intriguing. I agree - so much to see, if we only look a little closer!
ReplyDeleteGode billeder.
ReplyDeleteSmukke blomster.
Tak for kigget.
GirlSprout, have a wonderful, relaxing vacation! I love questions like you've posed here--not that I have answers, of course. Fall and winter do seem to be texture and pattern seasons, maybe even more so because the shapes turn so abstract without flowers to give them definition.
ReplyDeletestunning. My new passion is capturing texture. You've done a fabulous job, here! hope your vacation was a restful one, full of pattern and pleasing textures!
