This Week’s Sunday Stills Challenge is all about Texture
Terri Webster Shrandt hosts a fun weekly photography challenge that you can join in on here
It’s autumn in Canada, a time for color and texture, warm coats and frosty breaths.
I love the warmth of these berries against the cool shade of rock. The robins will pick this clean by Christmas!
Our maple has lost its leaves now, but the color was just glorious!
So many wonderful textures to appreciate; from the climbing hydrangea holding on to its summer glory, to the iron table with its charming legs, and my gargoyle friend who watches over our yard.
This cantaloupe is a furry little guy!

What do textures mean for you?

Beauttiful photos, Jacquie. I’m also Canadian, so I appreciate the colorful pallette on display every year. I love the red that some Maple trees turn. The gargoyle, by the way, already looks cold. 🙂

Maybe he needs a toque? 😊 We’ve been blessed with a warmer than normal winter across Canada so far this year. Last year around this time, my daughter was getting unburied by the National Guard from an epic snowfall!

Speck-tacular! Wow, Jacquie, you captured your stunning autumn colors beautifully! But my favorite was the gargoyle! I want one for my new place, and a huge totem pole.

It looks like it’s been a pretty colourful autumn in Canada, Jacquie. And like you, our Robin will have eaten all the red berries off our holly plants by the time Christmas comes.

We had 100 km winds today, so the leaves that were left have blown away, lol
