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.
⭐️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)
Peninsula Spire, North Greenwich, London.
Standing at 45m in height, Peninsula Spire is four metres taller than the Royal Albert Hall.
Taken back in the summer of 1969 at the Coast Guard yard in Curtis Bay, Maryland. Here’s the "buoy gang" of Coast Guard Cutter Cowslip working on loading one of several crew members' cars onto the ship prior to departing for South Portland, Maine the following morning. A few of the crew had arranged to have their vehicle transported to Maryland, to use while the ship was in drydock for hull and other work. I don't remember how it was determined who got to have their car make the trip, but I do remember that loading them onto the buoy deck was a "twitchy" process, very nerve-wracking for their owners. Space was limited, but I seem to remember four vehicles crammed onto the deck, then lashed down with chains. The guy in the center with the white hard hat and T-shirt is a CPO in charge of loading. Despite the crowded deck and all the shifting of deck gear and vehicles, none were scratched or dinged.
I think this car is a Mercury Comet, maybe around a 1964.
Scanned with my old Epson 2450 scanner from a Kodachrome 64 slide. Photo taken with my old Agfa Selecta 35mm camera... non-interchangeable 45mm lens.

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.

After pulling my house apart, I finally found this cat cookie cutter I bought for Halloween years ago! I guess I don't have enough Polka Dots in my life, lol.

It’s been a while since I posted here...time constraints and personal matters etc
Anyways, here’s my pathetic attempt at MacroMondays Cutter.

Document shredding scissors, such fun to use!
Many thanks for all views, fav's - and particularly comments - all are greatly appreciated!
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!
anybody? anybody? anybody want to guess? i'll give you a hint the MM theme for tomorrow, 3/9, is cutters ~grin~
this may be one of the best macros of the ones i did but it probably won't be the one i post :)
on 3/12-- reveal......will put the picture of a wider out version in the first comment box
Macro Mondays theme: “Key”
Thanks to everyone who took the time to view, comment, and fave my photo. It’s really appreciated. 😊
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.
Leaf-cutting bees are solitary bees that use leaf sections to make nests. I think this is either a female Patchwork Leaf-cutter or Willughby Leaf-cutter bee?? Can anyone help with ID? It is nesting in an old sleeper in my garden.
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.
My wife suggested her biscuit cutters for the theme #Circles in #MacroMondays. They are circular and I thought they mad an interesting abstract macro in monochrome. Hope you enjoy!
