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/

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.

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.
Cheers to Friday and the weekend ahead!

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!!!
Resubmitting for the Spring challenge! :-)
One of my friends has triplets that are about to turn one year old. So I decided to make a fun card in the shape of the number 1 for their birthday! This is the resulting card and matching envelope. There is just a bit of pale green dye sponged between the bunnies on the envelope to give that hint of grass!
When making this card, I selected a very thick patterned cardstock by BoBunny for the card base. And because the main part of the card is so narrow, I didn't want to add a lot of bulk to the front that would make it imbalanced and not stand up well for display. That's why I decided to keep things simple with paper piercing and embossing, and why I adhered the bunnies directly to the card without pop dots.
Materials used:
* A2 envelope (to hold 4.25" x 5.5" card)
* bone folder
* BoBunny Double Dot double-sided cardstock: Wasabi (green)
* cardstock: white
* chipboard from food product to make template
* EK Success Cutter Bee scissors
* Hero Arts CL139 Birthday Messages ("happy birthday")
* Hero Arts CL153 Happy Day Animals (bunnies)
* Hero Arts CL155 Playful Animals ("hip hip hooray")
* Marvy Uchida Clever Lever Giga punch (purple): 3" circle (when making template)
* mousepad
* needle
* Odorless mineral spirits (OMS) - Mona Lisa brand (Michael's)
* pencil
* Prismacolor Premier colored pencils
* Ranger Archival Ink (waterproof): jet black
* Ranger embossing powder: seafoam white
* ruler
* Tsukineko Memento Dew Drop (dye ink): new sprout (pale green)
* Tsukineko Sponge Daubers (I **love** these!)
* Tsukineko VersaMark watermark ink
Thanks for looking!

Edited to add:
The triplets were born on Easter Sunday last year (March 23rd) which is why I used the bunnies! :-)
You can download a template for this card from my blog, Gaal Creative.

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.
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.

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.
Known only as the "Gentleman Privateer", the captain of the Rover has arrived with his cutter and crew in Terra Nova...
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!
