Bushes And Dust

IMG_1062

The scrub beside the tracks scrape the car, leaving a little bit of sap and the dust sticks where each branch touched. It is also possible the branches have simply scratched the paint and made it rougher and easier for the dust to stick. Or maybe some electrostatic effect perhaps. Either way, the car needs washing.
