These icicles are hanging from the roof of my house.
I love how the shadows play on the sparkly snow and there are rows and rows of pipe fencing. Also interesting to me is the way the pristeen snow is so pretty next to the churned up snow.
Here is a closeup of a snow covered bush.
The inside of a feed bag has a really neat woven texture next to the grain.
I looked around the barn and found an old towel. I will always remember Yalla!'s birth and rubbing her brand new, warm, and wet body down with this old, soft toweling.
What does anyone else do with all the old haystrings? I hang them on my wall- deco art or handy accessory?
Here is part of a hay bale with the infamous hay string still attached.

beautiful textures! i like the grain one best.
i have no idea what to do with hay twine. ours is that old, rustic kind (yours is nylon?). so we could burn it, as equus magazine told us this month in its farm recycling article.
or maybe i could offer it up for free, germans reuse everything.

We can burn the hay strings? Please do tell me more! Oh wait, nevermind, I get Equus magazine, I'll go look for it...
Great pictures. I like the feed bag and grain picture. :)
I like them all, a real variety of textures.
Wonderful texture!
great assortment of textures. Love the dog walking the tire path in the road.
great shots ,love the textures
Those are really great! Love the sparkly snow and the grain in the feedbag. Very creative. Hope you had a great weekend.
p.s. I am jealous of all of your snow!!!
I use the baleing twine in crafts. I've braided it into thicker ropes and wound up the ropes and made outdoor rugs. There is also a loom knitting pattern to knit them into curry combs. I haven't tried that one yet because I'm still getting the hang of knitting on my knitting loom.
I thought about a feed sack too :-). Your shots are very good!
I'll be somebody could make a science out of looking at icicles and being able to formulate what the temperatures have been based on how straight or curvy they are. I hang on to some strings to use to hold fence panels in place while I nail them in, and to hold the trailer doors open on windy days. I throw the rest out. Good texture in all of those photos.
Super lovely series! Wonderful shots!

wonderful variety! Love the one of the bush/snow.
Great pictures. I also like the grain bag.
We keep a good supply of our hay strings for all kinds of uses around the place. The rest get thrown away.

I like your choices for the textures, nice photos. I am not jealous of your snow. Evil grin! (Although it is cold enough here for snow today.)
Excellent job on the texture theme. Love the snow shot with the dog.
Cool shots, Val. I enjoyed them.
