I love finding beauty in obscure sources. These images are from Eye of Science and are essentially super duper zoomed boomed up images of the microscopic world around us. I highly recommend this site for all you science geeks and freaks.

The first image is an allantoin crystal (something to do with the metabolism or proteins... I forgot! Hehe), then there's the scale-y looking one which is are just sharkskin scales, then there's some nylon fibers (if you can even call those fibers), and finally a petal from a cowslip flower.

What fun textures! MMM TEXTURES. <3
