This finch had some very fine, almost hairlike feathers that promptly showed up. Such a beautiful little bird.
A friend came over to learn a little about macro photography and this is the result. Shot with a legacy Zuiko 50mm f/3.5 macro lens with an adapter on an OM- D EM1 Mk ll. Stacked with Photoshop.
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.
This is "Kaga Temari". Japanese traditional handcraft.
Winding the chunk of cotton by a color thread until it forms a precise sphere.

In the Depths of Neon Dreams
In the flicker of dusk, the screen glows bright,
Pixels dance and shimmer in the fragile night.
Whispers of realms where shadows conspire,
A siren's call from the depths of desire.
Beyond the threshold of reality's sigh,
A cybernetic world spins a tapestry high.
Distant echoes—a jester's laugh,
In this surreal carnival, I slip through the path.
Time unwinds like a fraying thread,
Caught in the maze where the lost dare tread.
Digital phantoms with eyes like the void,
Conjure reflections of dreams long destroyed.
Sleep, a stranger with a face veiled in mist,
Waits in the corners, patiently kissed
By the haunting glow of my midnight affair,
As characters twirl in the electric air.
Thoughts swirl like smoke in the neon haze,
On the edge of lucidity, I linger and gaze.
A dream within dreams, a cycle unspooled,
In this Lynchian junction, I find myself fooled.
What price do I pay for these moments of play?
The clock keeps its secrets, while shadows decay.
A whisper, a flutter, as daylight draws near,
Reality beckons, yet I hold it in fear.
In the depths of these echoes, I gather my thoughts,
A tapestry woven with battles I've fought.
Each pixel a fragment, a memory's thread,
Yet in the silence of morning, I'm heavy with dread.
So here in the ruins of this fragmented night,
Lost in the labyrinth, between wrong and right,
I ponder the dawn, as it quietly creeps,
Wondering still—was it worth losing sleep?
Still wearing its Halloween colors, this Thread-waisted Wasp dominated the few remaining blooms at Fort Morgan!

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!
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.

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.

I couldn't resist this vintage thread holder and made no promises to sew more if I bought it.
“Silver thread through the Rockies” the advertising agent wrote in the 1950’s for the California Zephyr. Now more than 70 years later the phrase still stands true. @amtrak Number 5, the California Zephyr is seen here going through the Rockies, not around them and shimmers in the beautiful winter morning light along the amazing Flatirons. .
