"Spirituality is like a thin-thin thread, that if delicately followed guides us from darkness to light; from poverty to abundance and from destruction to safety."

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]

My box of thread for a project I just finished. I always wait until the piece comes back from the dry cleaners before I put the thread away. You never know if you'll have to restitch something after it's been cleaned and pressed so I leave the thread in my little project box. Once I've inspected the piece, I put the bobbins back and start hunting for a new project to occupy my time.
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...
Silk threads on Autumn Hydrangea blossoms.
Captured in bright morning sun on campus with the usual iPhone and Olloclip Macro Lens.
Edited on the iPad first in Snapseed then in Fotograf for black and white conversion.
This finch had some very fine, almost hairlike feathers that promptly showed up. Such a beautiful little bird.
I have always wondered what was all that stuff on top of Scripps Pier. I was shocked to find out that there were toy boats up there!
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 is "Kaga Temari". Japanese traditional handcraft.
Winding the chunk of cotton by a color thread until it forms a precise sphere.
Created this scene on top of my craft room table for the "cotton thread" challenge in the MacroMADEMOISELLE group. All the stuff around is to fix or to put away. But I like the bokeh it made, so it stayed. ;-) The delicate scissors are specifically for cutting threads.
Our Daily Challenge ... I used to.
I used to love sewing and making clothes for myself and family. Now I rarely get the machine out ... just for mending and alterations which is not much fun.
For many years I was really into machine applique and I made simple tops with interesting designs stitched onto them to sell in a boutique where I lived. They sold well and I saved enough money to buy a better sewing machine which now just sits in the cupboard unused. I also have lots of left over threads which I now use only as photographic props. Today I'm featuring a couple of fancy ones which were not really a success in my opinion.
I still love the colours!
W.A. Young Machine Shop and Foundry
Rices Landing, PA
This shop was built in 1900. It was closed in 1969 and left the way it was on its last day of operation with machinery and tools dating as far back as 1870.
The shop is beside the Monongahela River in southwestern Pennsylvania. It specialized in repairing barges, tug boats, and other river vessels and making replacement parts.
Even the tiny metal shavings or filings remain on the tools.
