I was trying to get a shot of the milkweed and noticed this little bee on it. I got the ID from iNaturalist and it may be another new species for my prairie bee and wasp species set, however I have other shots of bees that look similar to this but don't have a species ID for them.

I love Macro Mondays, but i hate having to choose a picture...looks like I have too many ideas :)

#MacroMondays theme #Cutter

For #MacroMondays and #cutter.

I'm lucky that my husband has many tools and parts, and keeps his tools clean. He found this cute little red thingy last night, but I didn't see it in the light until this morning.

Part of miniature pipe cutter shown is 3cm / 1.2 inches at an angle, or a width of 5cm/1.97 inches across.

Thanks for looking.

Multicolor is the theme.

Macro Mondays is the group.

These tiny pocket scissors are rather too short and blunt to be used as a major cutting tool, but are good enough to cut a label of a new top and I keep them close to my wardrobe. For Macro Mondays group.

Macro Mondays- Cutter

I have these interesting shears which are used to clip small pieces of my favorite herbs. The shears work really well.

ANJA’s design is based on the legendary Bristol Pilot Cutters of Britain. These boats were able to weather strong storms as well as be sailed short-handed. They would take the pilot out to large ships waiting in the Bristol Channel. Modern racing yachts evolved from this design. Construction is of mahogany plank on oak frames. Roger Long of Woods Hole, Massachusetts designed this boat in 1976, and it was built in 2014.

ANJA’s rebuild was featured in Wooden Boat Magazine, Jan-Feb 2023, pg 70-79.

I took this photo at Port Townsend's 2022 Wooden Boat Festival. You can see Adventuress schooner and some smaller sailing crafts in the background

A fridge magnet sized pizza cutter! I don't really think that at this tiny size it could be used as described. I use it for holding dental appointment notes.
