This finch had some very fine, almost hairlike feathers that promptly showed up. Such a beautiful little bird.
One last piece of vintage machinery from Thomas Edison's machine shop.
There are some great pieces of industrial history here, but the light can be a bit challenging for a photographer, due to the big windows. Guess I need to go back for a longer visit on a cloudy day in the winter...
Took a little walk in the James River yesterday. I took this while standing in a little sandbar that appeared only in the last year or so. The secret (What is it about me and secrets the past couple of pictures?) is that you have to stay really close to the bank. Otherwise it's like quicksand. As one foot sank in quickly, I scrambled closer to the bank, laughing at myself.
This was taken in the flower garden at Pineland Farm in New Gloucester, Maine.
Thread-waisted wasp, (subfamily Sphecinae), any of a group of large, common, solitary (nonsocial) wasps in the family Sphecidae (order Hymenoptera) that are named for the stalklike anterior (front) end of the abdomen. Thread-waisted wasps are typically more than 2.5 cm (about 1 inch) long and are parasitic on insects and spiders. The host is often numbed by malaxation, a pinching or crushing of the neck by the wasp’s pincerlike jaws, and paralyzed by the wasp’s sting. The wasp places the host’s body in a mud cell and lays an egg on it. Upon hatching, the larva consumes the host.[Encyclopedia Britannica]
Mrs Nghien started spinning silk at age 20, and retired in 2023 at the age of 96. She was kind enough to set up her tools and show us her skill.
Truc Ninh in Vietnam has a long history of silk production. Renowned for its high-quality silk, the region has a strong tradition of manual silk thread production, passed down through generations. While facing modern challenges, Truc Ninh continues to produce silk, combining traditional methods with modern techniques to sustain this valuable cultural heritage and contribute to the local economy.
This is "Kaga Temari". Japanese traditional handcraft.
Winding the chunk of cotton by a color thread until it forms a precise sphere.
Another topflappen, this time in Rowan 4 Ply Cotton, and a test from the Japanese 300 motifs book. I can read charts! :D
I've had this one ball of 4 Ply kicking around for years and it is so nice to crochet. Of course, the yarn' s been discontinued.

Part of nearly any trip along Inle Lake will include a stop at a silk workshop. There ladies will spin either worm or lotus silk (Monk's robes are made out of lotus silk) and then dye and weave the silk threads to make scarves and jackets which tourists and locals alike seem to enjoy greatly.
“Silver thread through the Rockies” the advertising agent wrote in the 1950’s for the California Zephyr. Now more than 70 years later the phrase still stands true. @amtrak Number 5, the California Zephyr is seen here going through the Rockies, not around them and shimmers in the beautiful winter morning light along the amazing Flatirons. .
