A day out today with my very wonderful friend Linda. We are both texturophiles and shedoholics. Even though everyone else was visiting the house and church at Calke Abbey in Derbyshire we were cooing and shooting and gathering inspiration from bits of brick walls and the contents of the store areas and garden sheds.

What a joy to have a friend with whom to share so much even though we only meet once or twice a year. Other folks would have us down as mad eccentric fools but we know we share a love of similar inspirations.
super textures and images
ReplyDeletesuper photographs, I do like the wall collage/mosaic
ReplyDeletePlenty of inspiration there. Lovely photos.
ReplyDeletehehe I think I'd have been in the shed with you lot!! great finds
ReplyDeleteI love the mosaic of wall textures and the stacked pots. The terracotta is such a lovely shade.
ReplyDeleteI love your photos! The bricks and pots are such lovely colors and textures.
ReplyDeleteNot mad or eccentric at all (or if you are, then so am I !) Inspirational photos, and something I do myself; always looking for colour and texture and something different. And I like to print images of tree bark or similar and print them onto paper or fabric for use in collages.
ReplyDeleteterrific photography ~Fiona
ReplyDeleteLove the textures and patterns...
ReplyDeleteTexturophiles, you are, hmm? I must remember that expression - I do belong to that family too and admire your very inspiring pictures!
ReplyDeleteCan imagine you had great fun while investigating those sheds!
How wonderfull, and I thought I was the only one who took pictures of walls and bark. I will have to post them for you to see too. Best wishes from patchworkcats
ReplyDeleteLove It! I could go photographing with you! The wall on the top right looks like its own country! DO you do your collage photos in blogger or ? where? I haven't figured that out yet. Thanks for sharing all these great photos.
ReplyDeleteI will check back to see if your followers is back up.
