Texture Tuesday | Snow berries

When we pruned the young orchard a couple of weeks ago, this sprig of winter berries came to light. Duplicating the layer brings out the handwriting, which is such a beautiful part of the texture. I love the way it makes the photograph look like an oil painting.

The next morning I took another photograph of the same sprig of berries, as the sun rose over the hill and lit up the heavy frost on the pasture. I love the touch of ice crystals lining the branch, and the cold blue light.
