This finch had some very fine, almost hairlike feathers that promptly showed up. Such a beautiful little bird.
One last piece of vintage machinery from Thomas Edison's machine shop.
There are some great pieces of industrial history here, but the light can be a bit challenging for a photographer, due to the big windows. Guess I need to go back for a longer visit on a cloudy day in the winter...

Took a little walk in the James River yesterday. I took this while standing in a little sandbar that appeared only in the last year or so. The secret (What is it about me and secrets the past couple of pictures?) is that you have to stay really close to the bank. Otherwise it's like quicksand. As one foot sank in quickly, I scrambled closer to the bank, laughing at myself.
This was taken in the flower garden at Pineland Farm in New Gloucester, Maine.
Thread-waisted wasp, (subfamily Sphecinae), any of a group of large, common, solitary (nonsocial) wasps in the family Sphecidae (order Hymenoptera) that are named for the stalklike anterior (front) end of the abdomen. Thread-waisted wasps are typically more than 2.5 cm (about 1 inch) long and are parasitic on insects and spiders. The host is often numbed by malaxation, a pinching or crushing of the neck by the wasp’s pincerlike jaws, and paralyzed by the wasp’s sting. The wasp places the host’s body in a mud cell and lays an egg on it. Upon hatching, the larva consumes the host.[Encyclopedia Britannica]
First time to see these in our lantana. Tried to grab a couple of photos, not quite in sharp focus but wanted to record its presence. May get better ones later. They nest in the ground.
Silk threads on Autumn Hydrangea blossoms.

Edited on the iPad first in Snapseed then in Fotograf for black and white conversion.
This is "Kaga Temari". Japanese traditional handcraft.
Winding the chunk of cotton by a color thread until it forms a precise sphere.
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!

An unidentified Sprinter class 158 passes through an autumnal Cornholme with the 11.11 Blackpool North - York (1B19) on 17th October 2014.
I love the graceful agility of these beautiful egrets...not sure what it was trying to do, but this reminded me of 'threading the needle'...:)...so I'll go with that!
Another topflappen, this time in Rowan 4 Ply Cotton, and a test from the Japanese 300 motifs book. I can read charts! :D
I've had this one ball of 4 Ply kicking around for years and it is so nice to crochet. Of course, the yarn' s been discontinued.
A mating pair of thread-waisted wasps, Eremnophila aureonotata, multitasking in a garden in Leavenworth, Kansas. August 4, 2019.
I wanted a quick quilting project for a petit four basket to use up some fat quarters. I found this variegated thread that I thought would be different to use.
I should add my quick projects are often not very quick.

I couldn't resist this vintage thread holder and made no promises to sew more if I bought it.
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.

This is Nazli Gelin Garden, a size 10 mercerized cotton. I got it at Herrschners.
It comes in some rad colors. Check out that brown in the back.
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.

The scene looks peaceful; it's anything but...!
At this point on its journey (above) to Wellington Harbour, the Hutt River threads its way through a dramatic rock formation, makes a sharp 90 degree turn into a deep silent pool, and then tumbles over and through yet another very solid rock formation.
This is the only known place on its 450km journey north that the Wellington Fault Line breaks the surface! It starts in the southern suburbs of New Zealand's capitol city, runs under the centre of the city and the Inter-Island ferry terminal, continues north beneath one of only two major highways out of the city, veers away from that highway and runs through the middle of a suburb in Upper Hutt, and comes to the surface as it crosses the Hutt River...
It is one of at least 7 major fault lines that runs beneath the the city of Wellington, and it is probably the most volatile and the most unstable. So I guess you could say that we're living on a Fault Line And A Prayer because if it ever ruptures, it's going to rupture with devastating and catastrophic results...!
Thanks for taking the time and trouble to leave a Comment Folks. It's always nice to hear from you, and your comments are always very much appreciated...!
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!
