Beetle wings
Can’t help but thinking of jewel beetles when I look through these images. Took these a few years ago in a railyard and am a little stunned they’ve just been collecting dust in a folder until now.

Wondering what all of these cat portraits are about? It’s part of a daily project I’m undertaking this year. Read more about the project here.
F
While sorting photos recently, it struck me that I have unwittingly amassed a collection of photos of the letter ‘F.’ Strange, really. Here are a few: I think I like this second to last one the best.
Valve
Kinda wish this metal plate was located on the side of my building— the rhythm of letterforms and the moody color gradient are so simple and pleasant.

School portrait day. Ok, not really but sort of reminds me of school portraits the kids bring home this time of year.
Petroglyph
Oftentimes when I’m shooting pictures of old trains or rusted machinery or digging through oily machine shops, I find unusual marks or symbols on some of the components.

Ahh! Attack of the beastie! It’s Halloween!
Blå
Another rainy morning makes me think of blue still more despite the warm golds and oranges of the fallen leaves.
Daily D’Art–Day 303
It’s the day before Halloween, which in some places is referred to as Mischief Night or Devil’s Night. While I’m not much for Halloween pranks myself, I know someone who’s got some mischief of his very fuzzy sleeves:
Geometric details
