Cotoneaster

Urd, Verdandi, Skuld by name—

Past, Present, and What Still to Come.

Beneath the tree, they softly hum,

And to the thread, all worlds succumb.

Rungardvik turns 4 today. Happy Birthday to us!

“An invisible red thread connects those who are destined to meet, regardless of time, place, and circumstance. The thread may stretch or tangle. But it will never break.” – Ancient Chinese Proverb.

One of my shots for the theme "colours".

I've swallowed a secret burning thread

it cuts me inside

and often I've bled

Is it just a needle with a thread or is it a bird, a butterfly, a heart. It's up to you!

Water and stone are in constant dialogue - shaping one another through movement and time. This image, Threads of Water, opens the chapter The Dance of Water and Stone in my new book Artwork of Nature.

In this chapter, I explore how water carves the land over years and centuries, from gentle ripples to dramatic, sculpted formations. Each photograph reflects that ongoing exchange between two of nature’s strongest forces — a reminder of how motion leaves its mark and memory on the landscape.

After a wonderful first week of pre-sales, I’m deeply grateful for the support so far. If you’d like to explore the project and secure a signed copy, you can find all the details here:

Always plenty of thread to choose from in our house. These are the oldest reels I could find, left over from previous generations... given a vintage mono feel.

Make compassion the cotton, contentment the thread,

modesty the knot and thruth the twist.

This is the sacred thread of the soul;

if you have it, then go ahead and put it on me.

A 1/2” bow of Red Thread. Total in frame 2 3/4” ‘s Macro Mondays - String

Just a small collection of my wife's embroidery threads.

Thread the needle, something that seems to get more difficult with each passing year. It was miserable outside so I decided to shoot a little macro inside.

This was a little bonus. During the latter part of our descent from Wild Boar Fell the whine of a pair of 158 units could be heard making their way uphill towards the nearby summit of His Gill. 158 870 and 158 794 form the 2H93 Carlisle to Leeds service.

Macro Mondays - Needle and Thread - 3/16/20

... used in the making of both Yubinuki (small rings) and Temari balls. Some of the threads that were used in their making!

There's more about the rings, and Laurie, who made them for me by clicking through to the image in the first comment field.
