A plastic broken spindle from the Sleeping Beauty miniature toys. Just practicing something new for me, not a fan!

No I'm not a connoisseur of staircases or balustrades but even I thought that the number of spindles in this Croydon outdoor staircase was a little excessive.

Walking in a local neighbourhood, I spied a small spindle bush that was loaded with these tiny fruits that were opening to reveal their bright seeds. This was the first time I've ever seen this plant and I sure found it at the right time of the year. Edited with an impressionism filter (Van Gogh) for Sliders Sunday. HSS!
Thank you for your visits and comments, they're all greatly appreciated. Have a great day!
My Circle Collection for the Macro Monday Challenge on 4/19/2021
If I were guessing, this could have come from river rock along the Mississippi River. I believe it came in a bag of river rock recently purchased. This could be a crude spindle whorl used for weaving. My guess is that it was made by the indigenous inhabitants in the area or Early American settlers.
Do you see notches in both the inner circle and outer circle? This could be to control the flow of the thread or yarn.

Euonymus
Burning bush
Huso con alas
Flügel-Spindelstrauch
Burning bush is a species of flowering plant native to central and northern China, Japan, and Korea. The common name "burning bush" comes from the bright red fall color. It is a popular ornamental plant in gardens and parks due to its bright pink or orange fruit and attractive fall color. This plant is regarded as an invasive species of woodlands in eastern North America.

Soon these will open to show bright orange berries.
Spindle timber is creamy white, hard and dense. In the past it was used to make ‘spindles’ for spinning and holding wool (hence its name), as well as skewers, toothpicks, pegs and knitting needles.
The fruits were baked and powdered, and used to treat head lice, or mange in cattle. Both the leaves and fruit are toxic to humans – the berries have a laxative effect.
Today spindle timber is used to make high-quality charcoal, for artists. Cultivated forms of the tree are also grown in gardens for autumn colour.
Have a lovely weekend everyone
- another tree planted in memory of Clare, thinking of the bright pink and orange berries it will bear in the autumn

many thanks for all visits
Happy New Week!
Small, colourful and very poisonous. The common name of the plant originates from the use of its hard wood for making wool-spinning spindles. HMM!
Small red fruits which I've seen in the forest. I very like them, 'cos they looks like flowers and they are very decorative :)
Spindle, European spindle, common spindle (Euonymus europaeus) is a species of flowering plant in the family Celastraceae, native to much of Europe, where it inhabits the edges of forest, hedges and gentle slopes, tending to thrive on nutrient-rich, chalky and salt-poor soils. It is a deciduous shrub or small tree. The capsular fruit ripens in autumn, and is red to purple or pink in colour and approximately 1–1.5 cm wide. It is a popular ornamental plant in gardens and parks due to its bright pink or purple fruits and attractive autumn colouring. The fruit of spindle is poisonous, containing, amongst other substances, the alkaloids theobromine and caffeine, as well as an extremely bitter terpene. Ingestion can result in liver and kidney damage and even death.

Czerwone owocki widziane w lesie. Bardzo je lubię, bo z daleka wyglądają niczym kwiatki i są takie dekoracyjne :)
Trzmielina pospolita, trzmielina zwyczajna (Euonymus europaeus) – gatunek krzewu należący do rodziny dławiszowatych (Celastraceae). Występuje w Europie i Azji, w Polsce jest dość pospolity na całym obszarze. Owocem jest czterograniasta jaskraworóżowa torebka, zawierająca 4 białe nasiona w pomarańczowej osnówce. Utrzymują się na krzewie jeszcze długo po opadnięciu liści. Występuje w lasach i zaroślach na całym niżu i w niższych położeniach górskich. Czasami jest też uprawiana jako roślina ozdobna. Wszystkie części rośliny, ale przede wszystkim owoce są trujące i zawierają glikozydy: ewobiozyd, ewomonozyd i ewonozyd. Za śmiertelną dla dorosłego człowieka dawkę uważa się 35 owoców.
Frost forms on objects that lose heat quickly, such as plants. If the temperature of the plant drops below zero, the water vapor that falls on those plants will transform into frost.
