The people in London never fail to impress me. This was no exception. I was wandering between tubes on the London Underground recently, enjoying the curves of the modern architecture when I decided to play 'passer by roulette'. who, or what would appear around the corner for me to photograph. I wasn't disappointed
In July 1984 on Wyoming’s Sherman Hill, a westbound Union Pacific grain train waits at Dale Junction, Wyoming, on Track 3, as an eastbound reefer train sits over on Track 1. Crossing over from Track 1 to Track 2 is a hot westbound led by a DDA40X and two SD40-2s, with the head end brakemen from both stopped trains on the ground making an inspection of the train threading the needle.
Took this photo in Greece, no idea what it is called, anyone know? Thanks
Thanks to Mark I now know this is a Thread Lacewing
Needle and Thread for Macro Monday, this is a "fine" needle image is about 3x.
Taken under Diffused LED Light Using Raynox DCR 250 on Canon 100mm Macro.
Found at Latatinga Wetlands. South Australia, growing on a large dead tree trunk.
Taken with Z MC 105mm, f/10.0, 1/5 sec., 200 ISO on tripod.
A small Neewer white light from the left side. The upright parts of the Moss are about 10mm in length.
an identification by google Gemini revealed the following
Based on the visual characteristics in the image, this moss highly resembles a species in the Bryaceae family, commonly known as thread mosses.
Specifically, it looks very much like a Pohlia species (such as Pohlia nutans, the nodding thread-moss) or a closely related Bryum species.
Here are the key identifying features visible in your photo that point to this:
Nodding Capsules: The most distinct feature is the green, pear-shaped capsules (sporangia) hanging downwards or "nodding" at the end of the stalks.
Reddish Stalks: The thin stalks (setae) holding the capsules have a distinct reddish-brown color, which is a classic characteristic of many Bryaceae species.
Gametophyte Structure: The base green leafy part forms tight, star-like cushions.
A quick note on moss anatomy: What you are seeing here is the moss in its reproductive stage. The green, leafy mat at the bottom is the main plant (the gametophyte), while the reddish stalks and green nodding heads are the sporophytes, which will eventually dry out and release spores to grow new moss.
Disclaimer: Exact species identification of mosses often requires microscopic examination of the leaf shape and cell structure, but visually, it fits perfectly within the nodding thread-moss category.

Day three of my current situation but I am noticing some improvement. I'm being very careful though I sneezed this morning and that almost set things back another day. Thank you for all of the get well wishes! I'll be much better soon and be able to photograph things away from this table. :D

For 'Macro Mondays' theme of 'Needle and Thread'.
Went into the basket that contains all sorts of bits and pieces that I think might be useful for a photograph, but invariable are not. However, there was a sparkling piece of ribbon that had been used to wrap a present. Of course, it was far too wide to go through an eye except one for a Giant's needle!
Out came the scissors and I cut a thin strip which I threaded through this darning needle - that was fun because the strip began to unravel, most went through but not all.
The needle was stuck in a polystyrene block to hold it steady and lit with a couple of lights, nothing special. To add a little colour I waved a piece of red ribbon in the background.

Glide thread which I typically use for free motion sewing and typically are used for wall hangings as they are 100% polyester. I retired 5 years ago and still get up at 5 am and I then get in my room (with coffee) and create! Makes me VERY happy that I have this craft to keep me creative.

... with a few cobweb threads
For a long time I thought thyme was a plant of the south, from areas with little water. So I hardly watered my pot thyme and the result was miserable. Before our summer vacation this year, I bought a solar-powered watering system , so I wouldn't have to bother our neighbors to water our balcony flowers every day. The result was very pleasing, as the regular water from the pump was much appreciated the thyme and now it looks as green and fresh as never before and delights us with its fragrance.

A thread-waisted wasp. I could not find much information about this colorful insect. Quite striking with the bold orange and black pattern.

Macro Mondays: keyhole. Quite a challenge to find a keyhole that was a bit interesting. This is in an antique thread cabinet, and you can barely make out some of the old paint labeling. It was not possible to shine light through.
