Letter (envelope) opener
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! =)
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).
These three are going to Cutters, an exhibition in Ireland next month. Real happy to be involved. Over 50 artists.
Cheers to Friday and the weekend ahead!
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/

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.
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
Old folk song, author unknown

Just had the thought that this photo could also represent "The Summer of the 17th doll", a play by Ray Lawler about cane cutters.
This is one of the top cutting horses in the nation.

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.
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.
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.
...presumably?
I have been hanging around looking for the owner but not seen her. She must be good at staying under my radar
The leaves look like bramble leaves to me but not sure
I have 4 "bug hotels" but generally i only see mud type cappings from mason bees and potter wasps (i do see the potter wasps going in and out)
so this one was a nice surprise to see.

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.

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.
I've called this 102pc puzzle by an unknown cutter 'Fireside'. It's amateur-cut, on thin plywood, and had very white edges to the pieces, which I toned down by retouching. But given how long this took, for a tiny puzzle, I don't think I'll try it again.
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.
