"On sugar maple, another leaf gall is commonly found, the maple spindle gall. This gall is also caused by a mite, Vasates aceriscrumena (Riley). The gall appears as thin, elongate bladders arising from the leaf upper surface. These galls rarely distort the leaf but considerable numbers of galls can make the leaves unsightly. "
A simple shot of the London Eye from when I went to the West End last week. HDR's with lines link this can often cause a white halo effect or strong contrast either side so I took my time to try and reduce this. I then enhanced the image with Lucisart afterwards.
Taken at the Brisbane Ekka 2008. I had to wait a while and adjust regularly - but all 5 wheels are in motion in this shot.

Looking resplendent in the Autumn sunshine in a hedgerow in Chesham. Toxic to humans but wildlife love them.

I just realized I never added these to the Bosworth Spindles group, and since the one on the right (an English Boxwood midi) is a wood that I've never seen posted anywhere else, I thought maybe I should. The one on the left is Bubinga.

I first learned to use a spindle back in October, but didn't find the method I was taught to work very well with some of my health issues. However, a friend has been working with her drop spindle a lot and I am getting ready for a trip and thought it would be nice to be able to spin some while gone, so I dusted off my spindle and spun up this rainbow neppy targhee roving.
Golden Spindles (Clavulinopsis fusiformis) are beautiful fungi that spring out of old grasslands in dense clumps, adding a bit of colour to the fields alongside the vibrant waxcaps that often grow in the same fields. The species is sometimes known as spindle-shaped yellow coral, or spindle-shaped yellow fairy clubs. It was first described in 1799 by James Sowerby from specimens collected on Hampstead Heath in London. I photographed this clump in the same fields where I counted 97 Pink Waxcaps in the West Yorkshire Pennines.
I have been captivated by cotton since April, when my son delivered some of his home-grown cotton bolls to me. I had bought a tackle spindle in anticipation of receiving some of the cotton which he grew in his vegetable garden. Since then, I have been in a spin, creating yarn using the tackle, which is a support spindle, that is, it rests on a support while you spin. I bought the pretty little waterlily tea candle holder from a dollar store and have been happily spinning ever since.
