Our Daily Challenge - Order
Really battled to come up with something tonight.
Made to order?
Just saw that I misread the challenge as 'order' and not 'in order' - sorry!
Part of Rae Lakes stopped me with this view. I loved how these water plants created an illusion of threads of hair spreading across the body of water reflecting the backdrop of the pines and Painted Lady and Glen Pass far behind them. The tranquility certainly called for a break and appreciation of what was before my eyes, but I still had to make it to the campground. The rain clouds traveling over the peaks looked quite uninviting.

Sometimes the hardest part of sewing for me is getting the needle threaded. This time I did without any help. Thanks goes to Diana for some inspiration. Taken with a Canon 60mm USm Macro lens. Type L for a better view.
Our Daily Challenge - DIY - 4/4/12
I recently acquired a +3 magnifying filter that threads onto my Nikkor 18-200mm lens and allows me to truly "fill the frame" when I use both of these tools together.
It is a bit tricky to work with since the combo produces a very shallow depth of field, but I'm pleased that a $25.00 filter can be so helpful for those of us who enjoy seeing the nature world up close......
I found this leaf hanging on my window pane by a very thin spider's web, a lone, clinging survivor of the storms that came through last night. It's been here all day.

Playing with thread for my blog banner this month. Quite fitting, as I'm sewing up some love for my little valentines.
These flat strips, about 30" long, are fashioned with an eye on each end and an eye in the middle. As you face the loom, they are installed vertically in a line, going the width of the fabric being woven. A thread passes through the center eye of each heddle. In a simple weave, heddles raise or lower every other thread in a weave with each pass of the shuttle. A wall-sized peg board in the back of the mill held a supply of various lengths.
Glowworm threads at Ruakuri cave. They actually aren't worms, but larva of the Fungus Gnat or Titiwai. While in the larva stage they will emit a small light (similar to that of a firefly or lightning bug). Titiwai create threads or lines that consist of a sticky substance. As the insect moves toward the light, they then become entangled within the threads and become food for the larva. They remain in larva stage for about nine months. The pupa takes about 13 days to hatch into a fly that only lives for three days. The adult has no mouth or digestive system and it's sole purpose is to breed and lay eggs. Once an adult, they immediately breed and lay about 120 eggs, which take about 20 days to return to larva stage. In a cave's darkness, it looks as if you are looking into a night's sky with constellations.

"The man who believes that the secrets of the world are forever hidden lives in mystery and fear. Superstition will drag him down. The rain will erode the deeds of his life. But that man who sets himself the task of singling out the thread of order from the tapestry will by the decision alone have taken charge of the world and it is only by such taking charge that he will effect a way to dictate the terms of his own fate." ~ Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian, or the Evening Redness in the West

Fantastic video of them! Feel the speed!
this close-up of a circus director's jacket captures the essence of command and spectacle. the golden epaulette, adorned with intricate fringe, gleams subtly in the low light, evoking a sense of tradition and grandeur. the deep red and gold details whisper stories of countless performances, of nights under the big top where magic and reality blur. this garment is more than fabric; it is a symbol of the orchestrator's role in the enchanting dance of the circus.
I didn't even remember that I had these purple threads. Well here they are in a straight line :)
Happy Tuesday!
Lyrics here. The lyrics remind me a lot of Bane, but I don't have a Bane action figure, so spider gals is what you get. X^P
Macro Monday theme: "twisted"

Sewing is a craft isn't it?
I thought of the twist in sewing thread which led me to raid my wife's sewing box. The most colourful threads were wound on a little bobbin which was part of a hotel sewing kit which had found its way into the box. This is a close-up of those threads taken with my 100mm macro lens with a 10x Nikon microscope objective on the front. I was surprised how many loose fibres there were. No wonder it is so hard to thread a needle"
