The Space Needle in Seattle, Washington, viewed through a sculpture called Sonic Bloom in front of Pacific Science Center.
The project was developed as a dynamic and educational focal piece that would extend the Science Center’s education outside of their building. Created by Seattle-based artist Dan Corson in 2013, these sun loving blooms use regionally manufactured, custom solar panels to generate their own power, allowing them to glow throughout the evening. Each flower top contains 48 solar cells that produce 4.6 Wp (watts at peak production) for a total of 1,104 Wp for all five flowers. Sonic Bloom combines art and science to help educate about solar energy in the Pacific Northwest and inspire people to consider how they can incorporate renewable energy into their lives.
Amtrak #303 threads thru the new half thru plate girder bridge over 9th Street on Springfield's north side. The old bridge was two tracks wide on the south end and close to three tracks wide on the north end, so the new bridge looks really tight in comparison.

Thread-legged bug of the genus Ploiaria; probably P. antipodum (endemic to NZ). The two front 'legs' are antennae. This one has caught a fungus gnat. Sitting on an introduced toadstool, Amanita muscaria. Rimutaka Forest Park.

road trip from New Mexico to New York City.. marathon 915 mile drive yesterday, but stopped long enough to show the son the house where his Great-Great Grandfather was born and raised in Glade Springs, Va. Perfect timing as the current owners were there putting the finishing touches on a haunted house (the home is now a museum) and we got to tour the home.. albeit all draped in black plastic and fake scary stuff... But it was still a very special moment to share, part of my family history.

I was totally stumped as to what to use since all my sewing things are packed, then I remembered I still had these little gems in my Spice rack. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saffron This is the worlds most costly spice by weight. That's why I have so little of it. I use it in rice mostly. It give the rice a yellowish tinge and a nice musty flavour.

A ripple of bright blue threads through this galaxy like a misshapen lake system. The foreground of this image is littered with nearby stars with their gleaming diffraction spikes. A keen eye can also spot a few other galaxies that, while masquerading as stars at first glance, reveal their true nature on closer inspection.
The central galaxy streaked with colour, IC 4870, was discovered by DeLisle Stewart in 1900 and is located approximately 28 million light-years away. It contains an active galactic nucleus, or AGN: an extremely luminous central region so alight with radiation that it can outshine the rest of the galaxy put together. AGNs emit radiation across the complete electromagnetic spectrum, from radio waves to gamma-rays, produced by the action of a central supermassive black hole that is devouring material getting too close to it. IC 4870 is also a Seyfert galaxy, a particular kind of AGN with characteristic emission lines.
IC 4870 has been imaged by Hubble for several studies of nearby active galaxies. By using Hubble to explore the small-scale structures of AGN in nearby galaxies, astronomers can observe the traces of collisions and mergers, central galactic bars, nuclear starbursts, jets or outflows, and other interactions between a galactic nucleus and its surrounding environment. Images such as this can help astronomers understand more about the true nature of the galaxies we see throughout the cosmos.

This really showed a big difference between a piece of thread and its shadow. I tilted the paper away from the sun to get thicker, more interesting shadows.
For the June July Jukebox, a little Australian music to add to the collection.
Threads of Silence by Karise Eden.
Karise has a quality to her voice that is raw, emotional, powerful yet fragile.
if i gave you every inch of me
could you show me how
if i learn to be more brave
could you show me how
i take a deep breath
straighten up my back
stand tall and walk along
he said you could do anything
but anything is nothing when you need a bit of helpin' out
you could go anywhere but anywhere is nowhere
but when emptiness is where you stand

"Thread", Tim Lowly, acrylic on panel, 13.7" x 11.7", 2019.
This brand new painting is one of two works that I will have in the upcoming group show at Hofheimer Gallery in Chicago. The opening reception is this Friday, November 6 from 5 - 8 pm. There are 26 artists in the exhibition. If you are in the Chicago vicinity you don't want to miss this.
For Macro Monday Creamy.
Some creamy threads beads and light reflecting off lace.
Captured with iPhone and Olloclip Macro Lens. No editing other than small crop and frame.
Strobist: SB600 bounced off ceiling, 285HV fired from behind and to the right of thread (rotated from horizontal).
This macro shot was taken in the studio for some theme–based group, back in September 2019. I do not remember which one, nor what the theme was! I have a behind-the-scenes snap (which I have also uploaded), so I can describe the lighting setup below.
Shot tethered with TetherTools bright orange cable —and extension! as my office, desk and computer is 30 meters away from that table... Fun, but not very convenient.
Strobist and technical: One Phottix Pro Indra500 monolight on a C–stand in zenithal position, 1.5 meters above subject, firing at 1/16 power through a Phottix Pro basic reflector fitted with 30–degree Andoer grid, 1.8 meters from subject and slightly above it; and another Indra500 studio strobe on a Profoto light stand in Rembrandt position to camera left, 2 meters from subject and slightly above it, firing at ¼ power through a Phottix Pro 110–cm Luna octabox with double diffuser. White card reflectors on two sides.
Strobes set and triggered via Phottix Pro Odin II radio controller on the Nikon Z7 hotshoe, manual mode. Sekonic L–858D light meter used to balance light sources. Gitzo GR3543XLS tripod with Arca–Swiss Cube C1 geared head. Nikon Z7 camera body in zenithal position on a Neewer C–stand, Micro–Nikkor 60mm f/2.8 macro lens.
The Nematocera (thread-horns) are a suborder of elongated flies with thin, segmented antennae and mostly aquatic larvae, consisting of the mosquitoes, crane flies, gnats, black flies, and midges.
Nematocera are typically characterized by filamentous, multisegmented antennae which may be plumose in some males. The Nematocera are a paraphyletic suborder, because one of its constituent families (Anisopodidae) is apparently a sister taxon to the entire suborder Brachycera; an alternative classification has been proposed in which the family Nymphomyiidae (traditionally classified within the Blephariceromorpha) is removed to its own suborder, the Archidiptera, and all the remaining nematoceran families are placed in a suborder called Eudiptera; however, the Eudiptera are also paraphyletic, and this classification has not been widely accepted. Largely due to its long history, the name Nematocera continues to be used.
Examples of the Nematocera include the mosquitoes (Culicidae), crane flies (Tipulidae) and black flies (Simuliidae). Many of the remaining families (especially Mycetophilidae, Anisopodidae, and Sciaridae), are called gnats, while others (especially Chironomidae, Cecidomyiidae, and Ceratopogonidae) are called midges.
The larvae are mostly aquatic and have distinct heads with mouthparts that may be modified for filter feeding. The pupae are orthorrhaphous (meaning adults emerge from the pupa through a straight seam in the pupal cuticle). The bodies and legs of the adults are usually elongate, and these flies often have relatively long abdomens.
Many species form mating swarms of males, and in some of these, competition for females is extreme. Although many species (as larvae) have a strong association with water, even within a single family there may be a trend toward semiaquatic and terrestrial habitats.
