Macro Mondays theme Cutter
I didn't really enjoy this weeks theme but decided to rise to the challenge. This is a julienne cutter to cut veggies into strips especially for sushi making. The blade is just under 2 inches in width so it's well within the requirements. HMM!
I can't for the life of me remember what the flower is but they have flowered for most of the summer and as long as I dead head them, they keep coming back. I love the dark red/orange colour and obviously so does the bee! ;0)
Pendant Swiss Army knife. I have another the same that I've had for over 20 years and use almost every day. Built to last.
Leaf cutter bees (Megachile)
The females of these bees cut small pieces out of leaves or flowers and use them to line their nests. The individual species of this genus can hardly be distinguished from one another with the naked eye. Most species are not very picky when visiting flowers, only a few are highly specialized.
⭐️Thank you in Advance for your kind ‘Faves’ Visits and Comments they are so very much appreciated. 👍
I cannot always ‘Thank’ everyone individually, for their Visits and ‘Faves’ however, I will always try to respond and thank all those that leave a ‘Comment’. If I do not reply to your 'Comment', it is not because I am ignoring you, it's because I have not seen the 'Comment'.
Your 'Comments' do not always appear in 'Notifications' or Flickr mail, so, I am sorry for any delay in responding. Often your 'Comment' is only spotted 'On the Page' on the day, that I see it. (seen ONLY when replying to someone HAS 'Commented' on the image, and I see a notification)
One of those egg slicer things. Completely redundant in my house as I don't eat eggs. And yet it lurks in the cupboard ...
Taken for Macro Mondays 'Cutter' theme.

It’s been a while since I posted here...time constraints and personal matters etc
Anyways, here’s my pathetic attempt at MacroMondays Cutter.
This is a replacement cutter for a grinding wheel dresser. It was backlit while sitting atop of a chainsaw scabbard.
Grinding dressers are used to return a grinding wheel to its original round shape (to true it up), to expose fresh grains for renewed cutting action (including cleaning away clogged areas), or to make a different profile (cross-sectional shape) on the wheel's edge.

Happy Macro Mondays to you all!
A landmark day today as I probably hit 1,000,000 views of all my best 423 photos taken over 10 years since joining and posting on Flickr. OK, so maybe there are many who have accomplished this milestone in a much shorter time but I thank you all anyway for taking the time to visit and view my work!

Macro Mondays theme: “Key”

Captured this photograph of members of the Langstone Cutters Rowing Club starting on a practice session from Langstone slipway.
The building in the background is the former Langstone Mill, dating from around 1730 and now a private residence.
This is another insect working the yellow rabbitbrush. The leaf cutter bee cuts half moon pieces out of leaves and uses the leaf to form a nesting chamber in a hole. A single egg and a piece of honey is deposited in the nest and the female moves on to repeat the process. The bee collects pollen on the ventral surface of the abdomen.
Huge colonies of leaf-cutter ants (Atta spp.) are scattered in the lowland tropical forests of Central and South America. These colonies can be as large as a house, although the size is hard to visualize because they are underground.
The ants are active day and night, often using the same pathways, and I’ve seen places where they have worn trails six inches deep into the soil. They are always busy harvesting leaves of almost any plant and bringing them back to the nest.
Remarkably, they are not eating the leaves but using them to grow fungi. In the nest, they mash up the leaves and use them to grow a specific type of fungus that they use as their only food source. They are, in fact, fungus farmers, not leaf eaters.
