More Backgrounds, Textures and Patterns

It seems that my second home is at the home improvement stores .... where I'm sure these people by now think I'm a little crazy photographing door mats, stone tiles and orange cones.  But the funny thing is the more you look around, patterns and textures are every where to photograph. So here are some I took the other day.

Floor mat







Door Mat







Wood Dowels







Metal Color Samples






Square Wood Ends








White Shutter







Orange Cones






Stone Tiles





And the search continues ... more backgrounds, patterns and  textures to find.

Backgrounds, Patterns and Textures

Every month I'm participating  in a different photo study and this month I'm working on Backgrounds, Patterns and Textures. I'll choose one to submit for possible review. My husband and I visited Jerry's a home improvement store and I took a few images that I will share here.
