It just sits in its kitchen drawer waiting to be used again, but this is the only way it gets attention now. I have a rocking pizza cutter that's easier to use and clean, and it rocks.

This week's Macro Mondays (9th March) is the theme "Cutter". The series of shots here are my thoughts and working shots ... not necessarily my final choice.

Usually at seasons end, the navigation season is kept open through the hard work of the USCGC Spar assigned out of Duluth, however this year instead brought a change in requirements that gave photographers an uncommon treat. While the Spar would have been acting as an icebreaker here, her sister ship USCGC Sequoia was having issues on the lower lakes and would therefore have to call on the Spar to perform the last ATON missions down there.
With the Spar out of town though, it would be up to the heavy duty USCGC Mackinaw to hold down the fort as she sailed up from Cheboygan, Michigan to keep our harbor channels open until the season ends. Normally assigned to her namesake region, this heavy icebreaker is really one of a kind with her dedicated icebreaker status instead of being mixed use like the Juniper class cutters like the Spar and Sequoia, so the Mackinaw’s bright red hull sure is a nice treat on an otherwise overcast day.
Lovebirds cut up paper and stick pieces of it under their wing to build their nest Bailey does really well at the cutting up part but usually whatever she puts under her wings falls out as soon as she moves.
That's the birds magazine in case you couldn't tell
didn't get as many decent shots on this trip as I'd hoped mostly due to spending an awful lot of time hanging over the side puking up and having westerlies and strong tidal currents so we couldn't get to the Brest boating regatta. But hey I got the Roscoff ferry back and didn't puke once!!!
Built as Admiralty Cutter No. 438, she was first appropriated to HMS Espiègle, a Cadmus-class 10-gun screw steel sloop, before transferring to the hospital ship HMHS Maine. With the Maine she was used to support British troops in both the Boer War (based in Cape Town) and the Boxer Rebellion in China. In June 1914, shortly before World War I commenced, the Maine was ran aground in fog off Mull on the west coast of Scotland and was wrecked. SC 438 was recovered and sent to Portsmouth Dockyard. She was decommissioned in the 1920s and converted to a motor cruiser.
Around 1974 her derelict hull was acquired by Dr Roger Stevens of Yelverton, Devon. The hull was restored and a new steam plant fitted and recommissioned around 1997. She was acquired by Peter and Tim Hollins in 1999. Original design drawings, specification and steam trial records were found and the cutter was restored by the owners to her original configuration. The engine was replaced (with one identical to the original) at the Maritime Workshop in Gosport. The cutter was again recommissioned in Portsmouth Harbour in 2008.
Named Mischief, she is 23 feet in length with a beam of 6 ft 6 in and a draught of 2 ft 3 in. She has a double-skin teak hull and was originally completed in 1987 at the Thames Ironworks & Shipbuilding Co. Ltd. at Blackwall in London.
Having been built in the year of Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee, she is seen here participating in the Thames Diamond Jubilee Pageant celebrating Queen Elizabeth II's Diamond Jubilee. Her crew (as opposed to guests) are wearing uniforms from the Victorian period.

I've been disappointed that I haven't had any Megachile Leaf-cutter bees using my garden "bee-hotel" this year. Over the last couple of days though, a couple have been investigating holes. This one has been busy clearing out all the material from one of last year's nests and seems to have taken up residence. I've only got a "head-shot", but those mandibles are very leaf-cutter-ish! Even so, it could be Osmia leaiana. I've had several of those nesting here.
Cheers to Friday and the weekend ahead!
The Cutter is a hand tool used to cut peat from less wet, shallower bogs. This means the peat it reveals is drier and therefore more easily burnt producing a whisky that has a medium-heavy smokiness, in this case, with a phenol content of 20.5 ppm. ~ ancnoc.com/whiskies/archived-collection/peaty/cutter/

These three are going to Cutters, an exhibition in Ireland next month. Real happy to be involved. Over 50 artists.
Three of the pilot cutters taking part in the Bristol Channel race. Most of the boats taking part are originals that are over a hundred years old. I think the boats in this shot are the Mascotte, Alpha and Olga.

Pretty similar set up to what most of you cookie bakers have, I think. Some people may look at all those boxes and think I have enough cutters to last a couple lifetimes, but of course I always have more on my "wish list!"
(The boxes are normally on a shelf in my garage, but I pulled them out recently to further organize them.)
Check in on my blog this week I'll be having two different cookie cutter giveaways! As if any of you need MORE cookie cutters! =)
Decorations at the Washington County Humane Society's Festival of Trees, all proceeds go to the shelter. :)
How we suffered grief and pain
On the banks of the Barron cutting cane
We sweated blood we were as black as sin
And the ganger he put the spur right in

Just had the thought that this photo could also represent "The Summer of the 17th doll", a play by Ray Lawler about cane cutters.
This is one of the top cutting horses in the nation.
Softbox camera right. Strobe behind horse at some distance.

Afternoon as the sun's on it's way done to stop down and take a shot of the calm waters of the Port Lincoln Marina.
The U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Taney actively served for over 50 years and has been in combat in World War II, the Vietnam War and patrolled for drug interdiction and fisheries protection. This historic ship is also participated in the search for Amelia Earhart in 1937. I used my Lensbaby Fisheye lens for this Baltimore, Maryland, shot.
...presumably?
I have been hanging around looking for the owner but not seen her. She must be good at staying under my radar
The leaves look like bramble leaves to me but not sure
I have 4 "bug hotels" but generally i only see mud type cappings from mason bees and potter wasps (i do see the potter wasps going in and out)
so this one was a nice surprise to see.
