Looking at Texture

Textures I found around town.  Closing in on things gives another perspective of everyday things in the city.  Sometimes if we look up, the clouds sends us signals.  Droplets of water carry a scene that we can't see when we are too far away.  The animals also communicates with us using their contrasting skin or furs.  Nature beckons our attention with the colours they are created with.  Just that we often neglect these calls.  Our attention are diverted into our busyness.  Let the various forms of texture tranquilize you.
