It’s been a while since I posted here...time constraints and personal matters etc
Anyways, here’s my pathetic attempt at MacroMondays Cutter.
This is a replacement cutter for a grinding wheel dresser. It was backlit while sitting atop of a chainsaw scabbard.
Grinding dressers are used to return a grinding wheel to its original round shape (to true it up), to expose fresh grains for renewed cutting action (including cleaning away clogged areas), or to make a different profile (cross-sectional shape) on the wheel's edge.

Leaf-cutting bees are solitary bees that use leaf sections to make nests. I think this is either a female Patchwork Leaf-cutter or Willughby Leaf-cutter bee?? Can anyone help with ID? It is nesting in an old sleeper in my garden.
One of those egg slicer things. Completely redundant in my house as I don't eat eggs. And yet it lurks in the cupboard ...
Taken for Macro Mondays 'Cutter' theme.
but a lot of pollen being collected by the looks of it! HBBBT folks, hope you all have had a good day and not too much snow/ice or heat for you depending on which part of the world you are! ;0)

Document shredding scissors, such fun to use!
Many thanks for all views, fav's - and particularly comments - all are greatly appreciated!
Happy Macro Mondays to you all!
A landmark day today as I probably hit 1,000,000 views of all my best 423 photos taken over 10 years since joining and posting on Flickr. OK, so maybe there are many who have accomplished this milestone in a much shorter time but I thank you all anyway for taking the time to visit and view my work!
After pulling my house apart, I finally found this cat cookie cutter I bought for Halloween years ago! I guess I don't have enough Polka Dots in my life, lol.

Leaf-cutter Ants (Atta sp) (right) are the most ancient gardeners of the tropical forest. They patiently slice off portions of a leaf, and then carry the leaf bits overhead in a gaily-colored procession back to their underground nests. However, Leaf-cutter Ants do not eat the leaves they cut. Instead, the leaves are taken to an underground chamber and fed to a fungus. In these hidden, underground gardens, it is the fungus that the ants eat, in a sense using it as an external stomach to digest the leaves and convert them into edible food.
To protect themselves against predations, trees produce alkaloids. One of those complex compounds is called terpenoids. This substances discourage both insects and fungi. One terpenoid in particular, carophylene epoxide, has been shown to repel completely the fungus garden ant (Atta cephalotes) from clipping leaves of a Neotropical tree (Hymenaea courbaril). This terpenoid was shown to be highly toxic to the fungus that the ants culture (Hubbell et al. 1983).
This is another insect working the yellow rabbitbrush. The leaf cutter bee cuts half moon pieces out of leaves and uses the leaf to form a nesting chamber in a hole. A single egg and a piece of honey is deposited in the nest and the female moves on to repeat the process. The bee collects pollen on the ventral surface of the abdomen.
We left Bremerhaven and all those big ships and cranes and industry to head further up north (although just a bit).
I really wanted to visit this small harbour called Wremen and see the shrimp cutters and the tiny lighthouse.
I include a second photo with a indicating scale.

Captured this photograph of members of the Langstone Cutters Rowing Club starting on a practice session from Langstone slipway.
The building in the background is the former Langstone Mill, dating from around 1730 and now a private residence.
Today's Macro Mondays theme is "Cutter".
I was struggling for an idea. I didn't want to turn the lawn mower upside down and macro the blade, or try to get the hedge trimmer teeth to look interesting. Sadly a knife looked like the only option until I found these minute scissors on the hall carpet.
I've set the doll's house scissors on the blade of some normal sized kitchen scissors. They are tiny!!!
