My 301st post this one! Yay!
I had started the countdown right from when I was at 270, 280 and then forgot all about it when I was actually posting the 300th post yesterday. [I added that 300th post tag after a few of you had already read the post
]
So here’s a toast to non-stop blabbering through these posts and heartfelt thanks to all of you, for the journey would not have been half as enchanting without you guys
So, this post is dedicated to all of you there
Theme for this week:
TEXTURE (Coarse, Smooth, Jagged, Sharp, Glossy, Shinny, Furry,…)
Well, from the time that I checked out the theme for this Thursday, I was browsing thru all the pics in my memory and ate Su’s head too, to suggest me something which I could click to suit the theme well. Since neither worked, I resorted to our archives and felt that quite a few pics gelled well with the current theme [I think so atleast
].
The varied elements of Mother Nature with their own beautiful textures 8)
The tree which moves some to tears of joy is in the eyes of others only a green thing that stands in the way. Some see Nature all ridicule and deformity, and some scarce see Nature at all. But to the eyes of the
man of imagination, Nature is Imagination itself. - William Blake, 1799, The Letters
Just to cross-check, I googled for ‘Texture of water’ and found many similar pics
So, adding this one pic from my collection too

Pls Explain!
LOL thanks
Can’t u feel the texture of that bark
We are never
an island,
functioning
in
solitary splendour
as we go through life;
The smooth flow
is almost always
courtesy
the
thousands of
wellwishers,
family
colleagues,teachers
and friends,
who line
our life base.
Flowing is hard work
but
they keep us
from
sinking low
and being absorbed
by
the wayward mud
at the bottom……..
Beautiful lines
Awesome!!! Congratulations… I will be hitting the milestone pretty soon
Oh cool
