Textured Tuesday: Scraped Asphalt


Sometimes I think anyone who saw me angling for a picture 
would think I was stalking shadows. In effect, I am. 
Prowling around the patch of scrapes in the parking lot next door 
or standing under a tree gazing through the leaves, 
I'm looking for the shape or bit of light 
that caught my eye in the first place. 


My cat chases leaves. I chase scratches in the pavement.
Sometimey it works, sometimey it don't.

Tahnk you, Dive. As usual you're very kind with your praise.

They almost didn't work this time. I confess to altering the contrast a bit in Photoshop because the original images were entirely too gray for my taste when enlarged. I think the marks were made by a blade scooping snow which took some of the coating off as it cleared the lot.
