Rust, Fungus, Snow

Here is another picture of rusty things on the Sykesville tracks:



And a picture of a fungus down the tracks a bit that has interestingly similar colors and texture.



And just for fun here are a couple of pictures of today's weather conditions. This one is from about noon, when the wind was just starting to pick up, but I could still capture snowflakes:



This is just a few minutes ago. The 35-50mph winds make the snow a gray haze in photos:


They just extended the blizzard warning to 10pm and no one is allowed on Baltimore City roads except emergency vehicles. I managed to shed my stir-craziness yesterday, but Jay is suffering from it today. He just went outside claiming he's upholding the family tradition of going out in nasty weather to shovel. Hope you're proud, Thompsons!

It feels weird admitting it, but the screws are thought-provoking. The strangely-shaped heads must have required a specialty tool, and the colors are almost pastel rather than rusty. Plus, the helical shape of the threads provide a great deal of texture and depth, or three-dimensionality.
