Orange sporangia --
Air-borne spores;
Cedar-apple rust.
.
.
This orange fungus is growing on a red cedar tree, and at this time of the year the fungus releases spores from its orange sporangia (spore cases). The spores are carried by the wind. The spores that happen to land on apple trees will infect their leaves. Soon rust-colored fungal spores from the apple leaves will be released, infecting red cedar trees. That's why this is called Cedar-Apple Rust. The fungal infection alternates from red cedar trees to apple trees.

Happy May Day!!!
For many people, including me, this is the first day of summer, according to ancient tradition. Some cultures call this day Beltane, but I just call it May Day!!! Happy Summer!!!
"Rusted Gear Motor" by Patti Deters. In this close-up of an old rusty motor gear, you can see corrosion and flecks of rust on the thick metal. There is a bolt on the top with a powdery layer of decay. The orange coloring of the copper coils inside the round motor housing almost matches the rust on the rest of the piece. I'm not sure what this mechanical object part was used for, perhaps some sort of industrial engine part? Please see more of my artwork at patti-deters.pixels.com/featured/rusted-gear-motor-patti-....
I picked this one for visual interest and uniquness. The color and texture seems to pop. This a macro of a section of my fire pit cover.
Rust is an iron oxide, a usually reddish-brown oxide formed by the reaction of iron and oxygen in the catalytic presence of water or air moisture. Rust consists of hydrous iron(III) oxides (Fe2O3·nH2O) and iron(III) oxide-hydroxide (FeO(OH), Fe(OH)3), and is typically associated with the corrosion of refined iron.
Given sufficient time, any iron mass, in the presence of water and oxygen, could eventually convert entirely to rust.
Rust Fly, (also called Carrot Fly), Psila merdaria.
Length 8 mm.
May to August.
There are two species which are very similar - Psila fimetaria and Psila merdaria. P. fimetaria has the third antennal joint darkened on the outer side at the base of the arista, and the hairs beneath the second antennal joint longer; whereas P. merdaria has the third antennal joint larger but without darkening at the base of the arista on the outer side, and hairs beneath the second antennal joint shorter.
Found in various habitats but often in areas of lush vegetation and amongst the crops that they target when ready to lay eggs.
Larvae live in the roots, bulbs and non-woody stems of plants.

Another rusting car resting along the Slippery Elm Bike Trail. I'm not an expert but it kind of looks like an old Dodge Charger. It was the only remnant of a garage that was torn down a few months ago.
