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/

Megachile willughbiella: Not afraid of cities. A common leaf cutter of gardens and disturbed areas across Eurasia. Some bees just aren't that picky and where they get their pollen.

We Are Made One with What We Touch and See
We are resolved into the supreme air,
We are made one with what we touch and see,
With our heart's blood each crimson sun is fair,
With our young lives each spring impassioned tree
Flames into green, the wildest beasts that range
The moor our kinsmen are, all life is one, and all is change.

including Valentine's Day, birthday, & biscuit cutters ... some of these I've had since I was 18yo, many are vintage & from thrift stores or garage sales, the rest were bought on sale or clearance ... this is the reason why I wanted so many shallow drawers in my baking island. 🍪
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!!!

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.
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.

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...
I used some Photoshop filter or other to attempt to simulate a fisheye. Just for something to do.

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!
Cheers to Friday and the weekend ahead!

Another early morning view of The Cutter pub and restaurant. I maxed out the iPhone's night mode for this one, handheld at 5 seconds (don't ask me why the EXIF shows 1/13 sec).
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.
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.
