I seem to be partial to "V" shapes even when formed by curves. The dramatic shape found in this bark pattern is supported by its rich texture and subtle coloration.

I was very taken by the sight of a vigorous poison ivy vine twining around a road sign. The rusted metal and textured vines against the smooth gray metal sign are a compelling image.

Lichens growing on a tree in Oveido, Florida, are enhanced by judicious use of filters. The delicately lacy texture is beautiful.
