A Bristol Channel Pilot Cutter doing what it was designed to do, head out into the Bristol Channel off Barry.
The history of the Bristol Channel Pilot Cutter is a study in itself. They were built for speed, the purpose being the first to arrive at an incoming ship and thereby get the job. Competition was fierce and they would race for ships.
This one is showing sails for 'Barry' and 'Newport', a form of advertising allowing the incoming ship to select the right port.
About 18 remain in preservation.

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/

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.

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!
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! =)
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).
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.
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.
a leaf cutter bee (Megachilidae) with a artistic sense for exterior design, using petals!
watching the bees, I was able to see that the bits of petal were being cut from some red pelargoniums in pots just a few metres away. The petal pieces fade quickly to pinky-orange as they whither and fade.
That reminds me of a song!
