Kicking off my new TEXTURE TUESDAY CHALLENGE on Instagram today with a two-fer…
and I thought you might like to see it here too?!
Two different textures… one from my studio and one from Mother Nature.

Frozen puddles, frozen ripples.
I love how the shallow puddles along the lakefront have frozen with the ripples
& leaves still in place. Perfectly natural textures & patterns!

And for the record…
YES there are elk in Elk Grove Village!!!
Okay, so let’s not get crazy. I grew up in Elk Grove Village so it is no surprise to me. However, they’re all “contained” in a fenced-in area of the Busse Woods Forest Preserve. It’s not like I just happened upon him in a clearing while hiking… which would have been SO much cooler & such a better story to share!!! Still very majestic and always to cool to spend time playing out in nature.

Okay, so I was “supposed†to be focused on my Christmas Shopping List today…
but how could I pass up a beautiful hike through the woods on a surprisingly warm
& sunny Saturday?! Apparently I couldn’t.

A little cloudy to start, but it definitely cleared up to become a beautiful day for playing downtown yesterday!

Close. Closer. Closest… each one cooler than the next.
One long stalk with one beautiful flower.

Color, pattern, repetition, layers… not to mention the color variation alone…
STUNNING!!!

After playing at Morgan Farm, Chris & I got back on our bikes and pedaled our way up to the Chicago Botanic Garden, Where we were greeted by hoards of butterflies all over the place… both Painted Ladies & Monarchs! They were swarming a large sage-salvia plant, just in case you were wondering.

Personally, I’ve always been a gourds over pumpkins kind of guy! So much cooler… textures, patterns, colors… go figure!
