Taken in Brittany. Unsure of exact identification. I've watched them cut bits of leaves from the rose bushes in the garden and it only takes them a few seconds.
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/

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.
Leaf-cutter ants at the Parque Nature Metropolitano, Panama City 22 Apr 2025. The rainy season has begun and the ants need to feed their fungus.
Ok, I read in a mag recently--can't remember if it was Art Jewelry or Polymer Cafe, that you can make cutters for your clay from soda cans.
So, having finished up a La Croix sparkling water, I cut up the can into a sheet (the bottom, btw, makes a great depression mold for hollw beads) and slapped together some shapes, embedded them in scrap to stabilize, cured, and VOILA! Custom cutters. these are just a sketch--took 10 minutes to make. I will say, though, that once refined, the next series should be pretty cool--the thin metal is very sharp. I also understand that the aluminum cups that cheapo tea lights come in are creat for this too.
Having fun...
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.

I'm so excited about my new cutter from my newest cookie friend Lila Loa!! I have been admiring her work and she sent this cutter to me!! So exciting to have a new shape to add to my centerpiece cutters! THANK YOU SO MUCH Lila - I LOVE it!!! I'll think of you every time I use it!
These cookies go to the staff that are helping with the 40th birthday party! They will be put in cellophane bags tied with raffia!
These three are going to Cutters, an exhibition in Ireland next month. Real happy to be involved. Over 50 artists.
Arriving again with chunks of leaf, and attempting to build a nest high up in the brickwork, couldn't get a close-up shot.
