Texture

A lot of times I think of texture as something rough, scratchy, or easy to imagine how it feels when looking at a picture.  An object with a smooth texture can still be just as valid, although it may not be as obvious.  This sundial is completely polished and "flat" without much variation in its appearance, but its texture can still be seen in these images.  Not only its this structure very smooth to the touch, it can get pretty warm when its in the sun all day.  I chose to shoot these images in macro mode, since texture, at times, can be more easily seen when it is close up/has a stronger affect as opposed to far away.  The clouds also feel like they provide another texture to the photo, even though they are off in the distance and really can't be felt, they have that puffy, full look to them.
