I went to the Cutter Races today... which is the cowboy version of horse-drawn charriot races. Racers thunder by the cheering crowd in cutters, pulled by a team of thoroughbreds. Teams are run two abreast for a 1/4 mile down the snowy track to the finish line.
The annual event donates all its procedes to the Shriners Hospital in Salt Lake City, Utah to provide health care for children who are in need.
Its a well attended event with lots of tailgate partys, drinking and wagering.
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/

"Bryony's design was taken from turn-of the century (1890's) Bristol Channel pilots. Franken gave her a rounder bilge than was traditional. As a result, Bryony sails with considerably less heel than her older cousins. Bryony can fly three working sails, the main, stays'l, and jib. In light air, using Bryony's topmast, we can add a tops'l and a jib tops'l.". Taken at Port Townsend Wooden Boat Festival. woodenboat.org/plan-your-visit/
MV Edmund Gardner is a retired pilot cutter built for the Liverpool Pilot Service after the Second World War. She was decommissioned after nearly 30 years service converted to a museum ship as part of the Merseyside Maritime Museum.
During her working life of almost 30 years the Edmund Gardner was essentially a base out in the Irish Sea for the Pilotage Service, providing accommodation for up to 32 pilots at a time. The pilots met all shipping approaching the Mersey and guided them into and out of the docks, to ensure their safety.
Edmund Gardner was ordered by the Mersey Docks and Harbour Board in July 1951 as a replacement for the pre-war steam powered cutters which were nearing the end of their usefulness.
Edmund Gardner (cutter no.2) was one of three such vessels, and was/each being named for a past chairman of the board. Her sister-ships were Thomas Brocklebank (cutter no.1) and Arnet Robinson (cutter no.3)
Edmund Gardner was built by Philip and Son, of Dartmouth, and was launched on 9 July 1953. She was completed and entered service on the Mersey on 2 December 1953.
Her function was to serve as a floating base for pilots guiding ships into and out of the Mersey. She would remain one week at the Liverpool Bar, followed by one week at Point Lynas, Anglesey, and then serve one week as supply ship to the other two. While on station her function was to meet ships entering the Mersey en route to the Liverpool Docks or the Manchester Ship Canal, and transfer the pilot for the transit of the waterway, or to collect pilots from outgoing vessels. During that period the Mersey was still a busy waterway; On an average day, such as 15 April 1960, Edmund Gardner met and transferred pilots for 16 ships (10 inbound and 6 outbound) in one 8-hour period.

We have a lot of projects going on where I live. From trimming trees to building new fences in the complex.
I went to my sister in law's place (up in the mountains of Itri, Italy) to photograph the bees that forage in her Lavender. This is a new one for me, a Leaf Cutter Bee (possibly Megachile willughbiella, Willughby's Leaf Cutter).
Tech Specs: Canon 90D (F11, 1/250, ISO 100) + a Canon MP-E 65mm macro lens (set to around 1x) + a diffused MT-26EX-RT (E-TTL mode, -1 FEC). This is a single frame taken hand held. In post I used Topaz Photo AI and Clarity in that order.
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!!!
what is it with tradesmen and shorts in the winter?
The guy who delivers my post (a postman in the UK, Mail-man in the USA) wears shorts even in the snow.

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 believe this is US Coast Guard Cutter Waesche (WMSL 751) docked in San Diego Bay. Any correction will be appreciated.

USCGC Waesche (WMSL-751) is the second Legend-class cutter of the United States Coast Guard.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legend-class_cutter
The Legend-class cutter, also known as the National Security Cutter (NSC) and Maritime Security Cutter, Large, is the largest active patrol cutter class of the United States Coast Guard, with the size of a frigate. Entering into service in 2008, the Legend class is the largest of several new cutter designs developed as part of the Integrated Deepwater System Program.[12]
Mission
These vessels can be used for a variety of tasks, including environmental protection, search and rescue, fisheries protection, ports, waterways, and coastal security, counterterrorism activities, law enforcement, drug interdiction, defense operations, and other military operations, including assigned naval warfare tasks with the U.S. Navy.[13][14][15]
Design
The Legend-class cutters are the second-longest of all U.S. Coast Guard cutters, behind the research icebreaker Healy, and replaced the 12 Hamilton-class cutters in service.[16] These cutters are envisioned by the Coast Guard as being able to undertake the entire range of the high-endurance cutter roles, with additional upgrades to make it more of an asset to the Department of Defense during declared national emergency contingencies.[17] To facilitate intercept missions, the Legend class can carry and launch the Short Range Prosecutor and the Long Range Interceptor rigid-hulled inflatable boats (RHIBs). The cutters are configured to survive in low-threat environments, such as an enemy having a poorly equipped military, some coastal patrol craft, and few to no anti-ship cruise missiles.[18]
