I found a new spot to take photos that is near my house and has an abundance of great opportunities. I had actually grabbed a shot that would have worked well in the flying birds challenge, but I didn't really want to enter a challenge that will likely have little diversity (my photo is no exception).
Instead, I found a pile of pieces of metal, which I assume are from a bridge (there is one nearby). Looks like they have been here for a while, and moss is starting to cover them up. Luckily, there is empty space which allows us to see the rusting metal, and then this little fern shaped growth on this piece. I like the arch vs the straight lines, and the green vs the browns.
