An uprooted tree at the side of the river, but it has not yet given up. There are many textures left from the raw bark, attacked by the elements, to the last attempt at fresh green leaves: a kaleidescope of textures.
All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain!
My "bump" was in 2016 when, aged 48, I suffered a stroke. This blog charts my recovery. (Header clipart licensed by pngguru.com.)
Retired and Enjoying Every Minute of It
I am Ahmed Abdi, a Wordpress blogger and storyteller who searches for stories that inspire people. I love writing because it’s a reflection of how I perceive the world around me. Lost in a world of endless chaos in my childhood, Unforgettable moments of tragedy and triumphs taught me the art of storytelling where I found myself through letter writing and then turned into stories but then sadly had lost everything I wrote for years. In 2018, I decided to create a Wordpress blog site that would allow me to store and retrieve every piece. Stories from my community, city and people are what make my writing so interesting and inspiring! I’m a tea lover so a cup of tea sometimes makes my blog.

When I saw the upturned tree, I knew I must take a photo.

LOTS of texture in that shot!!
Anything old and woody makes GREAT texture. Also old and rusty. Old and made of bricks. Probably you and I have reached an age where we too could make great texture.
So. Is “old” the prerequisite for texture? How demoralizing!

I am one big patchwork, full of various textures that don’t seem to match, but very old and rusty. I think it is called age. I have had that photo for a few weeks waiting for it to fit and now it fits because I doesn’t fit.

How do you take a shot with a lot of texture in it? is it about having a good lens?

Lens are always important although I usually just have my “normal” lens with me when out. A lot has to do with finding the right subject I find.
