It sort of looks like they're springing up through the snow, instead of the snow having fallen on them.
These small scissors have shaped blades & a tiny locking structure that allows the length of cut to be fixed. I think they must be almost a hundred years old. The thread colour is “autumn rust” - not very seasonal! Just the fabric & buttons are modern.
Loved this business sign, which Ken observantly pointed out to me on a recent visit to Franklin TN! We had such fun there!
I ran around in my truck trying to chase this (and others) down to get a bird in flight shot, but I had to settle on a sitting one.

I decided to start today earning some 'Brownie points' as I call them, for when I want to get away with something. That something happens to be a nine day trip to Iceland leaving my wife at home. So on my list this morning amongst other things were, clean the cooker, walk the dog, wash the kitchen and utility floor and hoover up around the place.
Despite being easily distracted, and finding my way to do other more pleasant jobs for myself that weren't on my wife's list, I found myself in the front hallway with a 'need to tidy up' mentality. My daughter had left some of her junk and gone off to Florida and I was just tidying her stuff up when I noticed a small object on the carpet which I was going to hoover as soon as I stopped being distracted.
Bending down to pick it up I raised the curious object to my eyes and was pretty amazed to see that the tiny things were actually a pair of scissors. And that is them balanced on the end of my finger. They are that small!
Well, one of the things on my mind was "Macro Mondays" theme of "Cutter". Until that moment I was going to do something with some large serrated kitchen scissors but suddenly....!!!! Well they must have dropped out of my daughter's dolls house stuff. Rarely have I been more pleased to be told to do some domestic chores, when this was the prize!
Right! Back to the house work. Need alot more points.
(PS. The scissors are 15mm long)
For the Macro Mondays group, on the subject of 'Found in the Kitchen' - this is the blades of a pair of kitchen scissors.
Quite a minimalist shot, and I think it works fairly well...
Unfortunately, despite repeated scrutiny of the relevant notebooks, I have been unable to pinpoint from the minimalist records contained within them the exact date of this photograph. The best I can do is narrow it down to sometime between 30th October and the end of November 1976. However, the precise date probably doesn't matter that much: it's identifiable as Cambridge station with its well-known scissors crossover clearly visible. For many years Cambridge had only one through platform, seen here on the right (numbers 1 and 4), and the crossover allowed multiple trains to use the platform at the same time. According to Wikipedia it's the third longest platform in the UK. In 2011, a new island platform was opened - just behind where the Class 08 shunter is parked - which added two more through platforms. I considered converting this one to monochrome but in doing so I would have lost the red light so I decided to leave it as "colour".
Our Daily Challenge 9-14 Dec : Rock, Paper, Scissors.
I had to look it up on Wiki, as it is something I have never understood, in spite of it being explained to me by several folk.
Why not just toss a coin?
