Still wearing its Halloween colors, this Thread-waisted Wasp dominated the few remaining blooms at Fort Morgan!

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.

I love the graceful agility of these beautiful egrets...not sure what it was trying to do, but this reminded me of 'threading the needle'...:)...so I'll go with that!
Baggy clothes and tomboy vibes are my ultimate style statement! 💁♀️ There's something about rocking oversized threads that just screams comfort and confidence. Who says you can't be sexy in loose fits? Embracing my tomboy side as a mom has been a blast, blending expensive tastes & affordable pieces together in my street fashion effortlessly. It's all about owning your unique style and feeling amazing in what you wear. Here's to breaking stereotypes and slaying in every look!

A mating pair of thread-waisted wasps, Eremnophila aureonotata, multitasking in a garden in Leavenworth, Kansas. August 4, 2019.
“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. .

Nemoptera bipennis.
Idanha-a-Nova / Portugal
This is not a dragonfly. it is a lacewing (Neuroptera).
This is the most beautiful bug I've ever seen. It is as big as the bigger dragonflies.
This was found on a field on top of a hill next to a large river. There were a couple of them on that area, but I had never seen these before.
Since then, I found this to be locally common on some areas of Alentejo and Algarve (hills or dunes).

An Ancient Chinese proverb says, “An invisible red thread connects those destined to meet, despite the time, the place, and despite the circumstances. The thread can be tightened or tangle, but will never be broken.”

This is my freestyle, actually for the past week, but could not upload due to finals!
Once I finish my exhibition I'm planning just too many new shoots, totally different styles (even wedding!) and in all that I hope I find some time to make some short films -mainly for practice!
And I love the idea of Project 104. I'm thinking, creating and at the same time allowing myself to work on other stuff too. Which is great.
Also, I have no idea what will I do for Uni. Will I continue, will I stop?
One thing for certain, I will be applying for scholarships. Anything related to art.
Actually my second choice for Macro Mondays "holes" theme. My first choice, also on my photostream, did not meet the criteria. The entire hole was not visible.
