"Knotted" - ;-)))

/seen @Park, Wolfenbüttel- Germany

Knot - Calidris Canutus

Norfolk

The knot is a medium-sized, short, stocky sandpiper that migrates to the UK in large numbers during winter from its Arctic breeding grounds. Commonly spotted feeding in estuaries around the coast, the largest numbers can be seen at high tide roosts in the depths of winter. A long-distance migrant, the knot can travel up to 15,000 km, stopping along the way at least once to feed. Knots eat invertebrates, molluscs and crustaceans which they find by probing their bills in the mud and sand; special sensory organs in their bill tips help them to detect buried prey in a similar fashion to the way echolocation works in bats.

The knot is fairly large and chunky, with short, green legs. In winter, they are silvery-grey on top and white underneath. In summer, they are brick-red underneath, with speckled, rust-brown upperparts. The bill is long, black and straight.

A common winter visitor to our coast, gathering in very large numbers on muddy estuaries.

"We learn the rope of life by untying its knots."

Again having computerproblems, grrrrr…..A practice in patience , I guess….

Hope you all had a nice weekend and wishing you a wonderful week ahead ;-))

Spotted this somewhere on Terschelling, it was part of a fence.

Curious TinyTeddy climbed into this knot and got stuck there but was freed after the photo had been taken

No bear was hurt for this photo session :-)

Untangle my knots

and tie me in a bow,

make the mess pretty,

make me fit to be in the show,

wave yourself in,

if that's something you can do,

just whatever it takes

to make me part of you.

What's your safe knot in life...

Macro Mondays: Knots

For the MacroMondays theme "Knots"

Hello my amazing Flickr friends !

Today is a red day at Color my World Daily and the theme at Macro Mondays is knots.

And as Jean Toomer said:

« We learn the rope of life by untying its knots ». So here we go, a tiny yellow paper boat trying to untie a huge blue knots on its long sail adventure.

I hope you will like my interpretation of this theme.

FYI: my tiny boat is about 0,8cm long.

I have to go since I will have some huge knots to untie at my work for sure … It is a pretty much standard situation on Monday morning … wish me luck !!

Mucho, mucho amor for you all !!

Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts!! Stay safe and well!!

Thank you for taking a look at my images.

Swirling knots at Snettisham in Norfolk.

The Grapevine knot is the way to join two ends of a line to form s single line and is an excellent and reliable way of joining two climbing ropes. It can be used for a full rope-length abseil; after which it should still be possible to retrieve the rope. If tied wrongly it can fail. If you tie it and your life depends on it, inspect it carefully. If someone else ties it, inspect it extremely carefully.

Knot in coloured cotton.

very small in dim light, processed to recover colors

The embroidered flower is 2 inches in size and the petals and three knots in the middle are made of silk ribbons. (I loosened one of the knots a bit so you could see that it was a knot.)

#macromondays #knots

A knot is an intentional complication in cordage which may be practical or decorative, or both. Practical knots are classified by function, including hitches, bends, loop knots, and splices: a hitch fastens a rope to another object; a bend fastens two ends of a rope to each another; a loop knot is any knot creating a loop; and splice denotes any multi-strand knot, including bends and loops.A knot may also refer, in the strictest sense, to a stopper or knob at the end of a rope to keep that end from slipping through a grommet or eye.Knots have excited interest since ancient times for their practical uses, as well as their topological intricacy, studied in the area of mathematics known as knot theory.

Thank you for visits, comments and favs!
