Mosaic Gazing Ball - Penn House, Reidsville, NC 12/05/2015

Thiese images should have been posted on Tues., Dec. 8th, 2015.. 
On Saturday I saw this mosaic gazing ball at the Penn House in Reidsville, NC.  I really liked the bright colors and thought it had great potential for texture.   iPhone 6, Camera +, edited with PSE 11.  Image on left cropped slightly, increased highlights, sharpened. Image on right was a section of the same ball to take CU of mosaic patterns.and color variation.  Increased contrast and sharpened to the max which gave it more shading of the glass pieces.  

Mosaic Bark Texture

This is another texture shot.   I was walking in the neighborhood when this tree bark was calling my iPhone's name.   This bark reminded me of a mosaic with the deep indentations.  I do not know the name of the tree.  The trunk of the tree was only about 5 inches in diameter which is smaller than a lot of other tree bark images I have taken.  If you can zoom in on the image you will see grain texture too.  Taken with Camera+ HDR.   No post processsing.
