Texture and Story

I love this gnarly old tree.What a history it must have.It reminds me of a really, really old and wise woman.You don't want to mess with herbut you might learn a lot from her.
On my walks I am drawn to textureand to contrasts in texturefrom the rough and gnarly, nobby, bare tree aboveto this:

soft and floaty grass frondsas delicate as lace.
I appreciate intriguing texture in story the accumulation of details and toneof pacing and patternand I appreciate contrasts in texturethat guide me from the gnarly to the softskillfully.
I love when I begin reading a bookand sense immediatelythat I am in the handsof a skillful writer.
Have you had that feeling recently?What book or what writer?
