Hello my Flickr friends!!!
Today is Monday which is a red day at color My World daily Group. The theme for Macro Mondays is: thread and needle.
It is very crazy here in Montreal, right now… Schools are closed for 2 weeks, everybody who can is working from home, people over 70 are asked to stay home and avoid social contacts… Toilet paper situation (I know everyone wants an update on this VERY, VERY important subject) seems to be better… People got their common sense back…We will see what is next. Frankly I was (and I still am) super preoccupied by this COVID19 hysteria and I hope it will get better in the next few days…
I hope you are all healthy and safe !! I wish you an amazing beginning of the week !!!
Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts / positive vibes!! It is truly appreciated! I sincerely hope everyone is all right and you all have everything you need to survive this with a smile! Have a great day and see you soon!!

Thanks for views, faves and comments!
BNSF's Ottumwa Subdivision cuts an interesting path into West Burlington, Iowa. Lots of neat old buildings line the main on their way out of the Mississippi waterfront. Just after dawn on a slightly humid July morning, Eastbound BNSF C ATMCLS0 85A brings the black diamonds from Wyoming to market, coming up to Main Street in downtown West Burlington.
This might be a new record for me. Six manned moves in the same shot at Proctor.
The dance card reads as follows: In the upper left in front of the yard office is the power off a pellet load that just arrived and is heading to the house for servicing. In the upper right is a locomotive set moving from the house for an empty limestone train that will be run to Duluth and spotted at Hallett. In the center is U-715 on limestone loads ready to depart for Minntac. Center right is the 12:01 "Extra Switch" using road power. In the lower right is L-511 with a transfer from Pokegama Yard and in the center is the 1400 PRS crew with a loaded ore train off the scale track preparing to "thread the needle" to Dock 6.
The only distraction are the heat distortion waves off the closer locomotive sets - hard to avoid in these winter conditions. I'll take the warts, along with a wonderful sunny sky. Some will say ETTS, but I say bring on the activity versus dormancy. No blues at Elwood on this fine Sunday afternoon.
"Needle and Thread"
Long needle for mattress padding
Longe aiguille pour matelassage, que j'utilise pour remettre les boutons d'un capitonnage qui sautent !

hundreds of strings hanging from the ceiling, little embroidered cups hang from each, I slide around on my back and when I saw the light ;o) I shot and kept speeding the shutter to get the starburst affect I wanted.
No one knew quite where the Thread came from.
A visual remnant of a whisper
A secret between plant tips
One connection of many
In a forest of consciousness
So delicate, like a thought
You can barely remember
Just on the tip of your mind
Was the thread really there?
Perhaps, imagined into existence
Look away during a gust of wind
And it's gone...
A bit like us to a mountain or an ocean or a large redwood tree.
Maybe we should all just stop fighting.
And find the thread between us.

Red the thread soaked in passion
Red like the poppy in the first sun
Lovely entanglements follow
The endless path
While the flowers do not flower
They move at the first breath of morning
Joy and intense emotions
They trace ancient stories
How ancient is
Love

Was it caught in a spider thread? I don't know! It was hanging from this tiny thread thing from a tree outside the restaurant / lodge in Shenandoah National Park. There were a lot of them on the ground getting stepped on! I rarely see a caterpillar and now this! LOL Hard to get a decent shot of it as it was wiggling and blowing in the slight breeze. I think probably it stretched that thread all the way to the ground, or being at eye level someone walked smack into it like I almost did!

3cm/1.18 inches across the frame. The Laowa 60mm lens magnifies by two, so that this appears larger than it measures. Measurement in first comment.
