“Needle and Thread”
Another pleasing and very easy effort with my little Panasonic. I think the autofocus is just outstanding. Direct sun through Venetian blinds. Scrap of Hardanger embroidery cloth used for needle storage. Eye of the upper needle is about 3/8".
The thread-waisted wasp:
after 2 hours going through each plant that could be an ideal place for bees and wasps at their sleep.
I came across many different species of wasps and another few bees that were all covered in dew, which made them wet and not photogenic at all. I came across this beautiful wasp, This is a Thread-Waisted wasp, I admit it is so beautiful I was just amazed by this find, sleeping pretty high on a dry plant holding it with the big mandibles not to lose grip at their sleep, pretty hard to shoot, but the time was limited before she would get warm enough to fly away and start hunting for a prey to paralyze and burry under the sand.
It is normal to me to find these wasps sleeping since i have seen dozens that day, I am convinced this is another species that I haven't seen before, Yet one of the most beautiful I have ever seen if not the most.
Small treasures.
Most of these are wooden spools. My favourite is the small spool of "service khaki", it's only an inch high.

da anni ormai sostengo la mia teoria sul filo invisibile che lega determinate persone.
è difficile per quante cose possano accedere, che questo filo si spezzi…
il pensiero di una l'azione dell'altro o viceversa oppure solamente pensieri che si intrecciano con le nuvole di un cielo che è sempre lo stesso.
Se un capo è teso dall'altra parte si sente…

For Macro Monday's "Inspired by a Song"
I've chosen Sam Mendes song 'Stitches'
I've always loved the chorus for this song
I'll be needing stitches
Tripping over myself,
Aching, begging you to come help
And now that I'm without your kisses
I'll be needing stitches
[x3:]
Needle and the thread,
Gotta get you out of my head
Needle and the thread,
Gonna wind up dead
Needle and the thread
Spools of thread, cards with trim or bias tape and bits of lace totally remind me of my childhood. My mother always sewed all my clothes and I didn't wear a 'store bought' dress until I was old enough to have a part-time job and buy my own.
Mum was an excellent seamstress and could make the most complicated patterns. When I was in high school and all the other girls were beginning to dress like hippies I was the one kitted out in tweed suits sewn from Vogue patterns that made me look like Angela Lansbury from Murder She Wrote. I even had jackets with bound buttonholes. I betcha there is hardly anyone reading this who is familiar with a bound buttonhole but take it from me it's very complicated sewing.
Do you think I was happy wearing these designer clothes? Not even a bit....it was horrifying...it was humiliating.....it was persecution. :-D I wanted to be like all the other girls and wear cheap stuff off the rack. This caused no end of consternation in our household resulting in tears, harsh words, foot stomping and pouting but I still had to wear those remarkably well made clothes.
One of my greatest liberating triumphs came when my mother made my coat for school. It was a dressy knee length coat with a lovely weave in powder blue. It was an old lady coat. There wasn't a day that went by that this ungrateful daughter didn't complain about her embarrassing coat so finally my mother said she would dye it navy blue if it would make me happier about it. It seemed a compromise I could live with.
So Mum set about dying the coat and when she was done it had shrunk to the size of something only a five year old could wear.
I was overjoyed.
She was dismayed.
It was vindication.

The radio gets real talkative here.
Loaded Ethanol bound for Watson is in the process of securing it's train at West Daggett, as the conductor is relaying train info to the Dispatcher, while over on main track one fifteen thousand tons of grain from Red Oak, Iowa in route to Hughson, California, hits up the router for instructions going into Barstow. The train closest to the camera was another tied down train waiting to get a spot in the harbor as traffic for LBCT holds main three at the coyote crossing with another train parked ahead of it right behind me.
Just a typical day in the Desert.
From Virginia, Rob brought back some antique furniture from his late grandmother's home. One of the pieces of furniture is a large chest of drawers. The drawers are still filled with all of her craft things -- bits of fabric, doll-making supplies, sewing sundries. A couple of the drawers are filled with spools of colorful thread, and those are just wonderful to look at.
