Macro textures in the garden, part 2

As a next post to the Red Deer Antler macro images, of January, I did a few more in the same garden in Bantry. This time I had only very little time, and when I came to the interesting bit (the Moss) I had to get indoors.

These are the leaves of a little grey leaved Ivy, which grows in a planter made out of a piece of tree trunk. I've never seen any plant which looked so much like the texture of jute fabric. (potato sack material)




The stems are very jelly-like. Or that is what they reminded me off.
Reminds me of charcoal or lava ridges.











Perhaps it wil be a little warmer too, as it was only a few degrees above zero this week. The two Hooded Crows were nowhere to be seen, The Blue Tits and Goldfinches were singing loudly from the top of the Ash tree above me telling us the Coming of the Green is here.. (but that is for another post)

Red Deer Antler.

In the garden of Rehabcare in Bantry is an antler from a Red Deer which lies on the ground near the carpark, usually. I tried taking photos of it before, but I always had the tarmac or cars in the background. On Wednesday I dragged it away and then lifted it on top of an empty raised planter.
Went back inside and fixed the macro lens on my Lumix. I haven't yet have any opportunity to get really get used to it, so I hoped that I had enough time before Michelle would call me. I had a lot less time it seemed, and these are the only images I was able to take.
Still, I love the texture of this 7 pointer And at the tips you could see how it has worn away. So I hope you enjoy the pictures.
I hope that next time I will have a little more time.

Around me, signs of spring were popping up too.
