"Texture" can refer to the appearance and feel (for example rough, smooth, hard or soft) of a surface. We see many textures, but some are more noticeable: A lawn neatly mowed; the surface of a road; the surface of a tabletop; the floor of a room; the materials of the clothes we wear. Textures may have interesting patterns, but they are more about the surface appearance than the patterns. I've mentioned in a previous post that textures often appeal to me. They "ask" to be photographed. Not only as a component of a photo, but as a photo's focus or subject.

Maybe my neglect of monochrome photos is simply a preference for colour. It seems that our brains prefer colour. In low light we may think we see colour while the actual perception of our eyes is colourless. Our brains then use memory, context and expectation to give us a subjective experience of seeing in colour. (Many applications we use on our cellphones and computers automatically enrich the colours of images.) Since my previous post I've observed colours around me. My impressions were that most colours in nature seem to be pastel-like. Then there are stunning sunsets, bright flowers, colourful fruit, some autumn leaves and some days and times of day when colours seem brighter (the first photo below was such a moment).
