This finch had some very fine, almost hairlike feathers that promptly showed up. Such a beautiful little bird.
I have always wondered what was all that stuff on top of Scripps Pier. I was shocked to find out that there were toy boats up there!
A friend came over to learn a little about macro photography and this is the result. Shot with a legacy Zuiko 50mm f/3.5 macro lens with an adapter on an OM- D EM1 Mk ll. Stacked with Photoshop.

This is "Kaga Temari". Japanese traditional handcraft.
Winding the chunk of cotton by a color thread until it forms a precise sphere.
Created this scene on top of my craft room table for the "cotton thread" challenge in the MacroMADEMOISELLE group. All the stuff around is to fix or to put away. But I like the bokeh it made, so it stayed. ;-) The delicate scissors are specifically for cutting threads.
Our Daily Challenge ... I used to.
I used to love sewing and making clothes for myself and family. Now I rarely get the machine out ... just for mending and alterations which is not much fun.
For many years I was really into machine applique and I made simple tops with interesting designs stitched onto them to sell in a boutique where I lived. They sold well and I saved enough money to buy a better sewing machine which now just sits in the cupboard unused. I also have lots of left over threads which I now use only as photographic props. Today I'm featuring a couple of fancy ones which were not really a success in my opinion.
I still love the colours!
W.A. Young Machine Shop and Foundry
Rices Landing, PA
This shop was built in 1900. It was closed in 1969 and left the way it was on its last day of operation with machinery and tools dating as far back as 1870.
The shop is beside the Monongahela River in southwestern Pennsylvania. It specialized in repairing barges, tug boats, and other river vessels and making replacement parts.
Even the tiny metal shavings or filings remain on the tools.

Les puntes al coixí o boixets són un art tèxtil, que consisteix a elaborar unes filigranes fines i complexes a partir de l’ús d’un patró de cartolina, fil, boixets, agulles i un coixí.
Sembla que té l'origen a Venècia al segle XVI.
A Catalunya, la tècnica de la punta al coixí va derivar a partir del segle XVIII en una industria que va sobreviure fins a mitjan segle XX.
Amb la desaparició de la indústria de la punta, la tècnica per a fer blondes, punyetes, mocadors, etc. resta en el saber de les puntaires, que continuen confeccionant-ne per a gaudi propi i transmeten els seus coneixements a qui els vol aprendre.
Actualment, a Catalunya es fan nombroses trobades de puntaires, algunes de les quals a la Fira de la Llet de Vilobí d'Onyar (La Selva) CAT.

Puntaires.
The lace in the cushion or bobbin are a textile art, which consists of making fine and complex watermarks based on the use of a cardboard pattern, threads, bobbins, needles and a cushion.
It seems that it has its origin in Venice in the 16th century.
In Catalonia, the technique of the tip at the pillow derived from the 18th century in an industry that survived until the middle of the 20th century.
With the disappearance of the industry of the tip, the technique to make blondes, knapsacks, scarves, etc. It remains in the know-how of puntaires, who continue to make their own enjoyment and transmit their knowledge to those who want to learn.
Currently, there are numerous gatherings of experts in Catalonia, some of which are at the Vilobí d'Onyar (La Selva) CAT Fair.
Still exploring my wife's sowing stuff. I spent plenty of time getting lots of colour shots of reels of thread, but I couldn't really make anything work. This was a bit of a throw-away shot, but it's the best of a bad bunch.

“Silver thread through the Rockies” the advertising agent wrote in the 1950’s for the California Zephyr. Now more than 70 years later the phrase still stands true. @amtrak Number 5, the California Zephyr is seen here going through the Rockies, not around them and shimmers in the beautiful winter morning light along the amazing Flatirons. .

Nemoptera bipennis.
Idanha-a-Nova / Portugal
This is not a dragonfly. it is a lacewing (Neuroptera).
This is the most beautiful bug I've ever seen. It is as big as the bigger dragonflies.
This was found on a field on top of a hill next to a large river. There were a couple of them on that area, but I had never seen these before.
Since then, I found this to be locally common on some areas of Alentejo and Algarve (hills or dunes).

An Ancient Chinese proverb says, “An invisible red thread connects those destined to meet, despite the time, the place, and despite the circumstances. The thread can be tightened or tangle, but will never be broken.”

This is my freestyle, actually for the past week, but could not upload due to finals!
Once I finish my exhibition I'm planning just too many new shoots, totally different styles (even wedding!) and in all that I hope I find some time to make some short films -mainly for practice!
And I love the idea of Project 104. I'm thinking, creating and at the same time allowing myself to work on other stuff too. Which is great.
Also, I have no idea what will I do for Uni. Will I continue, will I stop?
One thing for certain, I will be applying for scholarships. Anything related to art.
