A long-jawed orb weaver spider (Tetragnatha sp.) carrying a parasitoid wasp larva, likely an ichneumonid.
These remarkable larvae feed externally on the spider while chemically manipulating its behavior. Before pupation, the spider is induced to construct a modified web structure that protects the developing wasp larva, one of nature’s most extraordinary examples of parasite-driven behavioral control.
The larva gradually turns the spider into both a living food source and a chemically controlled puppet. One of many examples of evolution’s own “Neuralinks”.
..not to Major Tom in this case but to major dockworks. This ground frame controls the points set at the entrance to Workington Port. Judging by the
shiny rail surfaces it still sees a bit of traffic. This view is looking south toward Workington.
For 122 Pictures in 2022 #49 "International Scone Week", these are some apple caramel scones - my first ever attempt at scone making. They came out surprisingly good, though I didn't use the suggested homemade caramel, and just used some Ghiradelli salted caramel ice cream sauce I got at the grocery store. I used the recipe I found here: sallysbakingaddiction.com/caramel-apple-cinnamon-scones/. Note that one is already missing due to quality control testing.
Music inspiration.

This lily pad trimmer was outside my sliding glass door this morning. Apparently he was hired by the lake association to keep the lily pads under control.
Hurrying to a sunrise location while it was still dark my D810 was mounted on the tripod and I was carrying it cross body in front of me. I stumbled and took a face plant landing on my D500 that was attached to the Cotton Carrier vest. I landed hard really hard but the sun was ready to light the sky so I did what any respectable photographer would do, I got up dusted myself off and continued to the spot I'd scouted the previous day. It wasn't until I finished shooting sunrise that I looked down and saw the damage to the camera. First thing I did was take a few shots to check if everything was in working order thankfully it was.
Once home from camp I Googled the problem and discovered through the magic of YouTube the repair was something I could do and the part is very affordable. It took me until now to order the part which is sitting in the office waiting to replace the ome.
Nikon takes a lickin' and so do I but we are still going.
Happy Monday!
UPDATE: Today I replaced the broken window once again I can view my settings.

Of course having supernatural powers can be disturbing for a nine week old cat, but Max has made it clear that he'll only use his powers for good (unless someone pays serious money).
He can also bend spoons, levitate and solve most Sudoku puzzles in under five minutes.
So tired of posting shots in order...so I won't anymore.

Things in a row .
Well after a trek out to look for things in a row - and failed , I ended up using the controls from my Oven Top Pop Up Photo Studio ( once my studio in a box ) . That's it , the cooker controls and not too much waffle this week !!
A straight shot - cropped and tweaked to go a bit high key , job done !!
A link each to my failed shots :-
And so to Sight and Sound --
If I say Controls and Sun in one sentence , think we can guess where we are going -----

Here in Eugene, Oregon lie the remnants of a once mighty train company Southern Pacific which was bought out by the Union Pacific. The remains of a roundhouse, machine shop, and evidence of support buildings not to mention an intact turntable. This photograph of some type of junction I have no idea what for but it was intriguing.

I have wanted to shoot this for a long time. Its so unique. I tried to capture it with a dark feel, to help tell the story of the architecture, its medieval style and its past.
The Oswego Iron Furnace, built in 1866 at the confluence of Oswego Creek and the Willamette River, was the first iron furnace on the Pacific Coast. Between 1867 and 1885, it produced 42,000 tons of pig iron, sold as "Oregon Iron" to foundries in Portland and San Francisco. Before 1867, all iron on the Pacific Coast was brought by ship around Cape Horn.
The founders of the Oregon Iron Company—led by William S. Ladd, John Green, and Henry Green—sought to capitalize on iron deposits in the hills around Sucker Lake (now Oswego Lake). Controlling the means of iron production was part of their vision for a commercial empire in the Pacific Northwest. Most of Portland's cast-iron architecture and the pipe for its water system were made of Oswego iron.
The Oswego Furnace was Oregon's largest manufacturing enterprise in the nineteenth century. It consumed ore from two mines and charcoal from 22,000 acres of timber. Over the course of its operation, three companies owned the works: Oregon Iron Company, Oswego Iron Company, and Oregon Iron & Steel Company.
The furnace, which resembles a medieval tower, was modeled on the furnaces of the Barnum and Richardson Company in Lime Rock, Connecticut. The thirty-two-foot-high stack, as stone furnaces are called, stands on a twelve-foot underground foundation with massive walls built to withstand temperatures of 2,800 degrees Fahrenheit. Charcoal, ore, and limestone were fed into the top of the shaft, and air was injected into the bottom through three Gothic arches that gave access to ports in the smelting chamber. Molten iron was tapped through a fourth arch and channeled to molds in the sand floor of the casting house. In 1878, the second owners increased the height of the stack to forty-four feet.
The furnace closed in 1885 when the company built a larger furnace half a mile north. The firebrick lining of the shaft was removed and probably reused in the new furnace. An attempt to dynamite the stack in the early twentieth century failed but left gaping holes in the interior.
In 1974, the furnace, an example of the craftsmanship of nineteenth-century furnace builders, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The City of Lake Oswego completed a major preservation and stabilization effort in 2010, and the furnace is now an imposing presence in George Rogers Park. It is the only remaining iron furnace west of the Rocky Mountains.
Last minute 48 hour trip taking in a few new spots and some old locations. 17 hour days and mixed weather added to the fun.

For some reason I'm kind of obsessed with this yellow machine.
