The U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Taney actively served for over 50 years and has been in combat in World War II, the Vietnam War and patrolled for drug interdiction and fisheries protection. This historic ship is also participated in the search for Amelia Earhart in 1937. I used my Lensbaby Fisheye lens for this Baltimore, Maryland, shot.
Meat Cutters at the Super Fresh Market I worked at paused to let me take this shot in 1985. When this store opened in 1975 as A&P it had an overhead meat rail for forequarters of beef, it entered the cooler through the opening over the door in the background.
One of my first duties here was cleaning the meat room at the end of the day.
My bee hotel is very busy at the moment, but this one has decided to line a hole in a plant pot. If it's still at it tomorrow, I'm going to try for a sharper shot.
Whilst watering some pots in the garden a green flash caught my eye, I turned to see a piece of leaf disappear into a small pot. I watched and saw a leaf-cutter bee emerge from a hole in the soil of the pot. It kept going in with leaf pieces. I left that pot alone and got a camera out but it didn't show up again. A few days later I noticed a small pile of soil beneath another planter that was on my bench, I examined the planter and found a hole in the liner and saw the bee going in and out with leaf pieces! Today I saw the bee again and decided to have a closer look at the first pot, then pulled the plant and soil out in one piece and found the folded leaf pieces close to the edge. How exciting to see this and them still intact. I will leave well alone and keep camera at the ready to capture the bee. Here are some photos.
There are seven species of leaf cutter bee in the UK. I think this is one of the two commonest, the patchwork leaf cutter bee (Megachile centuncularis).
This triptych, taken in my garden, illustrates a neat semicircular cut to a rose leaf caused by a bee, a female bee carrying a section of leaf to her nest site, and a bee (perhaps the same one although at least two are using this site) hovering outside. The damage they cause to plants is trivial, likely to bother only those who grow plants to show them. They are great pollinators and so should be a welcome visitor or resident in any garden. They are very welcome in mine.
The nest is under a succulent plant in a pot in the garden. The leaves used in its construction will be glued together, an egg laid inside and a store of pollen left for the grub which will pupate in the autumn, hibernate over winter and emerge in late spring next year.

On the 23rd of October 2016, Sian K1tt3h and I got to put a shoot together which we had been planning for a while.
Massive thank you to Matt, who helped assist us.

Afternoon as the sun's on it's way done to stop down and take a shot of the calm waters of the Port Lincoln Marina.
The Detroit Recycling Center is playing host to this year's Re Bull Creation contest. The teams are hard at work, in the middle of their 72 hour competitive build. I got to wander around and watch the action for a while today. Some crazy cool stuff is getting created. I can't wait to see the finished projects!
More to come.
Out for a bike ride, this old cutter was laying in the brush.

As you can see, i don't own very specialized tools. Except for that lino cutter at the back, I already had these tools before I started rubber stamp carving.
The paper cutter you see in front works way better than X-acto knives! I find that I have greater control and use it almost exclusively for all my stamps...
The v-shaped cutter was taken from a beginners' wood-carving set I bought more than 5 years ago. I don't even remember why I bought them in the first place! Anyway, this is the only one that can be used in the set. I use it to pick out really fine lines, like for my name stamps and the rabbit's belt. ;)
The lino cutter at the back came in a set but I was very disappointed! I am only able to use the curved cutter for final touches and for gouging. The v-shaped cutter in this set gave me uneven lines and the rest were too wide for the intricate work required with rubber stamp carving...
Hope it helps! :)

A continuation of the Cutters exhibit in West Cork, Ireland several months ago. Cutters Edges will be held at the brand new Gestalten Space in Berlin, Germany from April 29th to May 28th. Still so stoked to be involved with this group of artists.
Come to the USA dammit!

Kansas City (abbreviated KC or KCMO) is the largest city in Missouri by population and area. As of the 2020 census, the city had a population of 508,090 in 2020, making it the 36th most-populous city in the United States. It is the most populated municipality and historic core city of the Kansas City metropolitan area, which straddles the Kansas–Missouri state line and has a population of 2,392,035. Most of the city lies within Jackson County, with portions spilling into Clay, Cass, and Platte counties. Kansas City was founded in the 1830s as a port on the Missouri River at its confluence with the Kansas River coming in from the west. On June 1, 1850, the town of Kansas was incorporated; shortly after came the establishment of the Kansas Territory. Confusion between the two ensued, and the name Kansas City was assigned to distinguish them soon after.
Sitting on Missouri's western boundary with Kansas, with Downtown near the confluence of the Kansas and Missouri Rivers, the city encompasses about 319.03 square miles (826.3 km2), making it the 23rd largest city by total area in the United States. It serves as one of the two county seats of Jackson County, along with the major suburb of Independence. Other major suburbs include the Missouri cities of Blue Springs and Lee's Summit and the Kansas cities of Overland Park, Olathe, Lenexa, and Kansas City, Kansas.
The city is composed of several neighborhoods, including the River Market District in the north, the 18th and Vine District in the east, and the Country Club Plaza in the south. Celebrated cultural traditions include Kansas City jazz, theater, which was the center of the Vaudevillian Orpheum circuit in the 1920s, the Chiefs and Royals sports franchises, and famous cuisine based on Kansas City-style barbecue, Kansas City strip steak, and craft breweries.

Kauffman Stadium, often called "The K", is a baseball stadium located in Kansas City, Missouri. It is home to the Kansas City Royals of Major League Baseball (MLB). It is part of the Truman Sports Complex together with the adjacent GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium, home of the Kansas City Chiefs of the National Football League (NFL). The ballpark is named for Ewing Kauffman, the founder and first owner of the Royals. It opened in 1973 as Royals Stadium and was named for Kauffman twenty years later on July 2, 1993. Since its last major renovation in 2009, the ballpark's listed seating capacity is 37,903.
Kauffman Stadium was built specifically for baseball during an era when building multisport "cookie-cutter" stadiums was commonplace. It is often held up along with Dodger Stadium (1962) in Los Angeles as one of the best examples of modernist stadium design. It is currently the only ballpark in the American League to be named after a person and is also one of nine stadiums in Major League Baseball that does not have a corporate-sponsored name. The stadium is the sixth-oldest stadium in the majors and has hosted the 1973 and the 2012 MLB All-Star Games, along with Royals home games during the 1980, 1985, 2014, and 2015 World Series. Between 2007 and 2009, Kauffman Stadium underwent a $250 million renovation, which included updates and upgrades in fan amenities, a new Royals hall of fame area, and other updates throughout the facility.
Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kansas_City_Royals
The Kansas City Royals are an American professional baseball team based in Kansas City, Missouri. The Royals compete in Major League Baseball (MLB) as a member club of the American League (AL) Central division. The team was founded as an expansion franchise in 1969, and has played in four World Series, winning in 1985 and 2015, and losing in 1980 and 2014.
The name "Royals" pays homage to the American Royal, a livestock show, horse show, rodeo, and championship barbecue competition held annually in Kansas City since 1899, as well as the identical names of two former Negro league baseball teams that played in the first half of the 20th century. (One a semi-pro team based in Kansas City in the 1910s and 1920s that toured the Midwest and a California Winter League team based in Los Angeles in the 1940s that was managed by Chet Brewer and included Satchel Paige and Jackie Robinson on its roster.) The Los Angeles team had personnel connections to the Monarchs but could not use the Monarchs name. The name also fits into something of a theme for other professional sports franchises in the city, including the Kansas City Chiefs of the NFL, the former Kansas City Kings of the NBA, and the former Kansas City Monarchs of the Negro National League.
In 1968, the team held a name-the-team contest that received more than 17,000 entries. Sanford Porte, a bridge engineer from the suburb of Overland Park, Kansas, was named the winner for his “Royals” entry. His reason had nothing to do with royalty. “Kansas City’s new baseball team should be called the Royals because of Missouri’s billion-dollar livestock income, Kansas City’s position as the nation’s leading stocker and feeder market and the nationally known American Royal parade and pageant,” Porte wrote. The team's board voted 6–1 on the name, with the only opposition coming from team owner Ewing Kauffman, who eventually changed his vote and said the name had grown on him.
Entering the American League in 1969 along with the Seattle Pilots, the club was founded by Kansas City businessman Ewing Kauffman. The franchise was established following the actions of Stuart Symington, then-U.S. Senator from Missouri, who demanded a new franchise for the city after the Athletics (Kansas City's previous major league team that played from 1955 to 1967) moved to Oakland, California in 1968. Since April 10, 1973, the Royals have played at Kauffman Stadium, formerly known as Royals Stadium.
The new team quickly became a powerhouse, appearing in the playoffs seven times from 1976 to 1985, winning one World Series championship and another AL pennant, led by stars such as Amos Otis, Hal McRae, John Mayberry, George Brett, Frank White, Willie Wilson, and Bret Saberhagen. The team remained competitive throughout the early 1990s, but then had only one winning season from 1995 to 2012. For 28 consecutive seasons (1986–2013), the Royals did not qualify to play in the MLB postseason, one of the longest postseason droughts during baseball's current wild-card era. The team broke this streak in 2014 by securing the franchise's first wild card berth and advancing to the 2014 World Series, where they lost to the San Francisco Giants in seven games. The Royals followed this up by winning the team's first AL Central division title in 2015 and defeating the New York Mets in five games in the 2015 World Series to win their second World Series championship.
Through 2021, the Royals have an all time win–loss record of 4,001–4,344 (.479).

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/

The Cutter.
A man was collecting grass for his cattle from a field near country road.
Location Netrakona, Bangladesh.
Poem.
Grey-blanket cloud of night cracks over the distant hills of Attadale and Killilan Forests.
Shafts of early morning sunlight lay their silver and gold carpets
across the rippling waters of Plockton Bay.
Yachts motionless, yet to stir.
Low tide reveals a host of skerries and islands, rock-pools and orange strands of inter-tidal seaweed.
Rocky, rugged heights of Creag an Duilisg plunge over a thousand feet to this sumptuous bay.
Swathes of Oak, Ash and Pine form a dense woodland back-cloth, clinging like Mountain-Goats, to the sheer, precipitous slopes.
No trains, this early, trundle along the bay to Kyle of Lochalsh,
a journey of breath-taking beauty and stunning views.
Few, yet, have risen to this soft morning light
and the promise of a glorious day.
But in this tranquil moment, my anticipation, quietly grows.
