A thread-waisted wasp, Ammophila sp., feeding on nectar from snakeroot flowers in our back yard. Letting native "weeds" flower in your garden is a great way to attract pollinators. Leavenworth, Kansas, USA, September 7, 2022.

"Lure/Wave, Grand Rapids (Lure/Forest)"

Inspired by the ancient Chinese legend of the red thread "when children are born, invisible red threads connect them to the ones whom they are fated to be with. Over the years of their lives they come closer and eventually find each other, overcoming the distance between, and cultural and social divides. A disk may be connected to another, as a “couple”, and each pair is made from a single thread. Every coil is pierced in the center by a sewing needle."

In the last few weeks I have spent so many days and hours immersed in children's portraits and group shots, candid expose shots of life within a classroom, band rehearsals for the school play, musicians playing, children performing and capturing it all for various different people and reasons, that it was nice to take those two lens' off the camera and pop the macro lens on and take simple, unplanned, shots of some threads left over from sewing lying beside me on the table as images downloaded onto the computer.
For me, today, it's nice to just look at something simple, not worry about exactly how in focus - or out of focus - a shot is and whether I've got the hair just right for that chid, or the essence of caterpillars walking across a stage.
Today simple and stark is just what I need.
Today, unprocessed is what I need. Straight out of camera.
Mum brought 80 million serger thread cones for me. She claims to have picked only the colours she won't use out of her stash. Conveniently for me, they're some of my faves.
This is simply a threaded water/sewer pipe that is sticking up in a ditch. I probably should have found a way to clean off the dirt but by the time I could have done that, I would have lost the light that attracted me in the first place.

Rather warm this morning but slightly damp so for OK for exhaust. A revitalised 73156 approaches the A6 road bridge with the first train of the day.

I made this tool back in the 80's, It was patterned after a Marchetti & Lange locating fixture. Back then most seemed to ride 42-52 chain rings and the tool was optimized for that size.
With so many of the rando bikes using 46-48 outer rings I wanted the mounting hole to be in the "new" sweet spot. I used the Linley to locate then drill the hole. Next the tap was held in the chuck to start the threads.
Later today the tool will be in use and see some heat.
floss or thread or cotton? i love it when things have so many names.
cleaning at the moment. not just this room. lots of things that make it feel like life cleaning, you know? probably spring induced. which is just fine by me.

I love embroidery threads. This is not a collage of my personal stash - I think I have more. Hopeless. June 29014
.. of merino wool and silken steel...
.. of simple rows back and forth...
entwined
[Threads of delicate merino wool and silk wrapped steel in vintage gold, entwined to form patterns of texture, light and transparency.
Threads interconnecting as unstructured stitches come together to create a soft metallic wrap.
Threads pulled through loops in a hazy, simplistic ritual that has soothed and calmed the mind, body and soul.
Threads of luminous magic.]

The night crew for this evening was threshold, rizzolo, skazama and efatzo. We ventured back the site of where the old farmer's market used to stand, but this time we concentrated on the underpasses and nearby rail yard. I toted along the D200, Holga + Nikon FM. Reminded myself why I don't like to carry so many cameras.
You can see a pool here of all the shots on Flickr from the night or a slick slideshow here. It may take a week or so for all the shots to be posted.

A big thank you to Sam from St Morris Upholsterers who let me wander freely around his workshop and shop taking these photos. See also their Facebook page St Morris Klassik.
