I figured I may as well make it 3 in a row for black and white posts here. I was totally fascinated with the details and texture created in this patch of mud by all the assorted tracks of insects and small animals. You wouldn’t believe the swarm of mosquitoes that I had to brave when I stopped to compose this shot though. Click this one to make it bigger and get a better appreciation of the texture.

I was driving home the other night and as I crossed the railroad tracks by my house I spotted this out my window. I stopped at the red light just over the tracks and grabbed a camera from my bag while waiting for the light to turn green. With camera in hand I circled back around the block to the tracks. As I drove over them again I fired off this shot.
