Hot metal

I decided to try to survive (briefly) the incredible heat and try to take some photos of all of the flowers which are blooming in our back yard. However, the flowers weren't cooperating. Deciding to give up on my idea, I passed some strange object that Mr. Peanutbutter had brought out of the the garage to work on. I never know what kind of old or abstract tool he's going to bring home, but I can say they're always intriguing - even if I have no idea what it's purpose is.

I really liked the look of this tool and snapped some photos. Below are my artsy-photo attempts.....What do ya think?
