We are surrounded with textures. I was fascinated by the unique designs created by water streams on the sandy beach in Costa Rica. Every angle I look I found a new interesting pattern of water and sand. The lower layers of sand were darker colors and the top layers were much lighter. When the stream made its way to the ocean, water carved a natural design with unique repetitions of dark and light sand.
I am a passionate observer who likes to collect the moments and the looks.

In love with this. The textures are wonderful, but what REALLY caught me was the metallic hue they have. So beautiful.
I love this idea of studying texture. What a wonderful way to train your eye.
Amazing photos. The texture and light in the first image is completely stunning. The last photo might be my favorite. I love the ripples that you captured on the water.
I too am fascinated by the strange world that exists between sand and water, but like the above poster, have never been able to manage photos that capture it quite as well as yours have.
Amazing…gorgeous…please never stop taking pictures!
It looks like lava!
Stunning patterns. I was once asked to present a challenge for water-colour artists, I suggested they try to paint the pattern of rills in the sand of a beach. They were uniformly dreadful – your photos capture the texture beautifully! Tony
Cool! I loved the same phenomenon in (believe it or not) Costa Rica, but I didn’t take such wonderful pics of them. Right on.
