Looking close... on Friday! theme: Spools of Thread
Thank you everyone for your visits, faves, and kind comments
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.
Love, as we have already discussed, is a powerful,
wonderful, ridiculous thing, capable of moving mountains.
And spools of thread.

"Chains do not hold a marriage together. It is threads, hundreds of tiny threads which sew people together through the years" is attributed to Simone Signoret
A threaded fastener is a discrete piece of hardware that has internal or external screw threads. It falls into the overall fastener family. They are usually used for the assembly of multiple parts and facilitate disassembly.

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

Minimalism.
Inspired by a conversation with a friend about the things that enter our minds in order and come out randomly and the things that enter our minds randomly and come out in order.
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.

At 1.25mm point to point, the teeth on this thread guage are pretty small...

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.

Nikon D750 / Nikkor 50/1.4
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 yucca is a fascinating plant of needles and threads. It looks like t's trying to sew itself up with spiraling threads springing from the leaves. This is one of the spiraling threads.
A fine cord of cotton or other fibrous material is spun out to a considerable length, especially when it is composed of two or more fibers twisted together.
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.
it's amazing what we can find in the dark corners of a garage! a tight network of spider's web (+ some spray bottle drops) created this bokelicious macro abstract.

Borrowed thread from my mom. She was a dressmaker. Her specialty, wedding gowns and fine dresses. She taught me to sew my clothes when I was a teen.
