We are but one thread within in.
Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves.
All things are bound together. All things connect.

Kim Klassen LR greymist preset and texture
I found these rusty, crusty scissors in an antique store--they are probably useless for anything except photo props.
Along the scenic Oregon Coast lies two large offshore rocks, one of which contains a natural rock arch. On this autumn evening, the sunset aligned with the arch full of golden light over incoming ocean waves.
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
For 'Macro Mondays' theme of 'Complementary Colours'.
A very obvious subject for this weeks theme.
No trouble in finding the the reels of thread - too much choice really when I looked one of M's collections.
The 'orange' is one of Dewhurst's TRYLCO terylene threads and is described as 'Flame' coloured.
The 'blue-green' is a Coats' DRIMA polyester thread of no specified colour.
The needle - the bigest I could find cos I had to thread it, has obviously seen better days.
And I have put everything back where I think I found it - there will be trouble if I haven't. !!
Russian Jupiter 11 135mm ..................................................... about 1 inch
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
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.
For MM theme; "Needle and Thread".
(Sewing an Amish Bonnet, is such a relaxing pastime - ruffles and all.) HMM!
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.
As for focus and depth of field .......................... !
Pentax Auto 110 70mm .................................................about 1/2 inch
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.

As the RS71 approaches Ronkonkoma station, the engineer slows the train to a 5 MPH crawl as they pass the KO 2E signal. NYAR freights with plate F cars in the consist are restricted to 5 as they pass through the station, presumably due to the presence of platforms on both sides of the tracks.
My second Twirl attempt, they are fun. And seeing as we are not allowed outside I have far too much time doing nothing.
:-)
I used my photo below in the first comment to create this Twirl.
Happy Sliders Sunday, processed to the max.
