The Word for Wednesday that Donna of Garden Walk Garden Talk is hosting this week is 'Texture and Pattern'.
Since everything is with texture and pattern, the difficulty here is to limit the length of this post.
I do not intend to limit to texture and pattern found in my garden alone.

There were many huge ferns plants at the highlands which I visited a few days ago.
I find the patterns to these unfurling fern fronds rather captivating and am posting 6 photos of them.

Below are the soft texture of the grass on the highlands and wavy patterns formed by the mountains.
Back at home, I continued my quest to look for more texture and pattern.
As soon I picked up the camera, the furry texture below, demanded to tag along as he loves to be outdoors.
Out of all the captures, I think the highlight of today is this blue feathery friend.
It is such a delight to see a White-throated Kingfisher having a feast in my garden!
To be honest, this is a regular visitor but it maintains its distance so we had to get a zoom lens.
The above is a collage of some of the textures I see around me.
Notice that my first few passion fruits shall be ripe soon?

ReplyDeleteAwesome pictures!!! The shots of the unfurling ferns are really cool!
ReplyDeleteI've never seen ferns unfurl in person, but love the photos of them! I took some photos of my dogs furry coat the other day. I might have to include them if I get around to posting for WFW.
ReplyDeleteI never tire of fern fronds. that photo of the kingfisher is great.
ReplyDeleteWOW, just amazing photos. I love the ferns and the kingfisher.
ReplyDeleteYou have make the fern look so special! I have ignore fern all this while! Your photos have chaneg my mind!
ReplyDeleteI like your fury friend though!
Fern fronds are my perennial favorites but our ferns at home are just the small species, and I have lots of different leaf photos too. Yours are so perfect for this texture and pattern. I love that 2nd photo where the leaves look infested with some disease. The blue hills are stunning as well, and the collage, oh great. We also have two kingfishers often visiting the property, but my 150mm cannot capture them well, I need at least 300mm to give justice to it.
ReplyDeleteWow, I love the pictures of the ferns. They are so beautiful and fascinating. I have tried to photograph fern fronds in the past, but have failed to do them justice. You have done them justice indeed!
ReplyDeleteI love your images today. Especially the collage. You really have some wonderful textures found in nature and those images of the ferns are spectacular. Glad to see you using the new lens too. It takes some getting used to, but you will have it mastered in no time I bet.
ReplyDeleteWhoa the 5th fern pix its like full of caterpillars. Hey your furry friend is in deep thought. Pichu, a penny for your thought? haha. Love all your pixz. tQ.
ReplyDeleteAmazing how such an ancient plant can just capture the imagination and enchant us! They beg to be photographed! Kind of like your dogggie - lol.
ReplyDeleteLove the gorgeous details you've captured of those ferns fronds.

ReplyDeleteLG: Karin
Great photos!!! The fern looks a bit like an octopus to me! I agree that texture and pattern can be seen everywhere, if we just look (like the wavy mountains!).
ReplyDeletealoha,
ReplyDeletei can relate with the ferns, we have small and large one coming up all over here in hawaii - they are beautiful yet somewhat aggressive - what isn't in hawaii....love your bird picture its very colorful.
