Finding it difficult to find the time to post at the moment. Thanks for staicking around.

Euonymus Europaeus

Growing wild in a hedge at Cosmeston Lake, Penarth South Wales

A single little clump of berries on a Spindle Tree (Euonymus europaeus - European Spindle Tree) I found whilst tramping around the woods last week.

 

Looks nice on black - click on the image, or press 'L' on your keyboard.

Hmm.

 

I have been saying "... if you think about it" a lot lately, by the way.

 

A bright orange Spindle seed hangs suspended from its pink pod before it finally drops to the ground.

The waxing gibbous moon rises above the “Roka” or “Adrachti” rock, at Meteora, as viewed from Kastraki village, Greece.

 

The bright daylight and the moon's low altitude (5.4° above the horizon) both impede capturing lunar surface details in great extent.

 

Meteora rocks constitute a geologically unique rock formation and are included in UNESCO World Heritage list. Roka is a distinctively spindle-shaped, erect rock.

Cotton: The yarn. The control of quality, my father's main concern. Time has passed, and my memories faded. I only remember my father's joy during the visits he made to his clients'mills where he shared his knowledge and skills with the workers he was training. I regularly went with him on my Summer holidays to get acquainted with the mills and help him with English and German language translation.

All again found in woods at Chudleigh Knighton.

In honor of the original Spindle, Paisans Pizza has erected a Mini Spindle. The cars are about 3 feet long, Mini Spindle resides in the Paisans Pizzeria's parking lot in Berwyn Illinois.

Luckily this tree at Westonbirt Arboretum was labelled and I took a shot of the label too. It's indigenous to Japan, China and Korea. I have never seen anything like it and the raindrops on it really brought it alive for me.

This seeds belong to the shrub Euonymus europaeus and the family of the Celastraceae. Pfaffenhütchen

      

There actually is a Spindle City … it’s the nickname of Cohoes, N.Y., where massive textile mills harnessed the power of the Mohawk River at the site of a major waterfall. Those mills were spinning cotton, though, not silk, which was the business of this place in Maryland.

We live in apple country and it has been interesting to see the orchards slowly transform over the past few years to this new system of growing the trees. The Tall Spindle System is a combination of denser spacing between trees, dwarfing rootstock, minimal pruning at planting, branches tied down to induce fruiting and trellis support as the tree grows taller. It is supposed to give higher early and mature yields and be easier to harvest.

Clavulinopsis fusiformis. ( Golden Spindles ). Not one to have on toast.

Sneak peak, what do you think? (Base fabric is by Lara Cameron of Ink & Spindle in Melbourne, it's called Rooftops and is printed on an organic cotton and hemp fabric. It was just screaming at me to add some color.) : ) THANK YOU to the Flickr folks for adding this to EXPLORE!

Caused by the maple spindle gall mite, Vasates aceriscrumena. They don't usually harm the tree.

 

Thank you to everyone who visits, faves, and comments.

This is my Asford Top Whorl drop spindle while I was spinning my second yarn. I used blue and green roving that I hand dyed using acid dyes. This spindle is so fun and easy to use! I think it is great to learn on! blogged

Golden Spindles / clavulinopsis fusiformis. Clumber Park, Nottinghamshire. 10/10/17.

 

'GOLDEN SPINDLES OR NOT GOLDEN SPINDLES, THAT IS THE QUESTION.' (1)

 

I was informed at the time these were Golden Spindles, despite lacking pointed tips. Since they were mature fruiting bodies, perhaps that's the reason they looked as they did ?

Any views on this welcomed.

 

They did however demonstrate very clearly, characteristic flattened bodies, longitudinal grooves and some had reddish-brown tips.

 

Golden Spindles are good indicators of unimproved grassland, feeding on decaying organic matter in the soil. These are the grassland habitats that Waxcaps favour, and there were certainly an abundance of those found in the area that day.

One of my favourite berries (for taking photos of). Captured with Jupiter 9 lens.

Dave crafted the shaft of this Tibetan support spindle from birdseye maple and the whorl from beautiful koa. The bowl was also crafted from birdseye maple and features an earthenware insert.

Not folded or mutilated

I love this bead. It reminds me of barnacles. Dreamy little spinner, too.
