One of the images I took for the Macro Monday's challenge, "Cutter", on 9 March 2020. I inherited the scissors from my grandmother, who died in 1969. It's taken me more than 50 years to get around to using them for their intended purpose.
A smiling happy home-owner. Leaf-cutter Bees (Megachile centuncularis) haven't been around the garden for a while, but now there are loads of them. They usually cut a perfect circular disc out of rose leaves (without greatly harming the rose) to take back to the nest. The nest is usually a hole in timber created by man (in this case a hole drilled in a plank for a bolt) or sometimes created by other creatures such as large, boring beetle larvae. The leaf in this picture is actually growing out of the ground, through the hole, which is some feat as the plank is about a foot (30cm) above the ground, resting on some rocks!
A quote from ‘The Wind in the Willows’ 'Believe me, my young friend, there is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats. These next few images mirror my thoughts. We have, over the years, walked many a coastal mile, not far from boats. We’ve been on the water on more than a few occasion and enjoyed every minute. Hope that you enjoy these moments in time.
This first batch was taken locally, along the River Blackwater at Heybridge Basin, Essex.
The Stone Cutter is the man behind some of the greatest palaces of the Kaph. Nothing makes him happier than bringing the sandstones of the desert to life!

Sutro Baths is the go to spot for a lot of photogs who enjoy shooting cookie cutter seascapes. I LOVE IT when people comp stomp, frame bang and google + (a verb that describes a meetup of about 10+ ppl) a scene. Sarcasm aside, I wanted to find something different than your run of the mill scene from here. I scouted this location out several years ago and lost a couple 5D's here at the bottom of the cove where the massive wave action was because being the doofus that I am, I wanted to be in the middle of it lol. So with the surf being the way it was, I stayed a bit higher to where the REAL action was. This was definitely THE best sunset of the year I dare say. No other people next to me, EPIC conditions ( I don't use these words lightly!) and the scene hopefully isn't a cookie cutter scene to you. :)
