A mating pair of thread-waisted wasps (Eremnophila aureonotata) visits a Wingstem flower. The adults of this species feed on flower nectar, but the larvae live in a burrow dug out by the female and feed on a big caterpillar that she brings for them and places in the burrow.
I have never seen a male Widow Skimmer until this one and he was so far into the reeds, that I held no hope of having caught a decent picture, having to thread my camera's eye through a tight spot in all the vegetation. But I think this came out pretty OK. Kind of soft and not too much detail, but isn't he beautifully marked?

Captured while out for a walk on the River St bridge to Lemieux Island last night. Taken hand held, but I might have to go back with a tripod someday and see what can be done. Nice target of opportunity. With no clouds, the sky was orange for all of about 3-4 minutes and then a duller blue/black.

With eyelids heavy and red,
A woman sat, in unwomanly rags,
Plying her needle and thread"

This is tatting I have collected over the years when I have purchased antique thread at thrift stores sometimes little bits of lace are tucked inside the balls. I assume someone meant to go back and finish the ball of thread and never did so I got it instead.

I took this at my grandma's house the other day. I found her crazy sewing room hidden in her basement...there was a whole wall of thread!
With a backdrop of quiet winter, the sign of spring blooms bring promises of life anew.

I used Cebelia crochet thread and a size 8 hook
Just an interesting shadow that I happened to see.
Added a texture layer of threaded paper to take the thread thing to a different level.
I am not 100 % sure of the ID on this insect but this is as close as I could find in my field guide.
Slight wind blowing when I took the shot so the image is a little soft.
