Love, as we have already discussed, is a powerful,
wonderful, ridiculous thing, capable of moving mountains.
And spools of thread.

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.
"When I was seven I told my mother,
To take me to the bay and put me on a ship.
Silver swordfish electric,
I can feel or dream down here.
If the water should cut my mind,
If the water should cut my life,
If the water should cut my mind,
Set me free,
I don't care,
I want to live in a bathysphere.
When I was seven my father said to me,
"But you can't swim."
And I've never dreamed of the sea again.
If the water should cut my life,
If the water should cut my line,
If the water should cut my mind,
Set me free,
I don't care,
I want to live in a bathysphere."
— Bill Callahan, via Cat Power
Star ballerina. Enhanced by a fairly visible spider web thread, its static posture is now aware, warm elegance...

DAY 4
once more, memories, my family all being from Brugge, my paternal grand-mother and my sister, had lace making as their passionate hobby! Had the schooling.
I remember winding the bobbins!
I remember how important the patterns were, some kept secretly.Just another facet of Brugge’s fame is its beautiful lace.
BRUGES made bobbin lace in the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, and the name of Bruges is given to a lace of a scrolling character.
From the end of Middle Ages Flanders maintained an active exchange between the Low Countries and the great centres of Italian art, so it was not unnatural that at the close of the sixteenth century lace was known and made in Flanders.
Spinning flax threads and weaving fine textiles is closely associated with the early commercial history of Flanders, and when the progress of manufactures was endangered by the religious persecutions of the sixteenth century, the linen trade alone is said to have upheld itself, and to have saved the country from ruin.
The fineness of the thread used especially is important.
These date from about 1630 to 1660.
Have a wonderful day, filled with love and beauty, M, (*_*)

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.

Looking down into one of the many mining pits of Dinrowic. Was sad to see this tree since had fallen on a fairly recent visit.
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.
Strobist: SB600 bounced off ceiling, 285HV fired from behind and to the right of thread (rotated from horizontal).
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.
I couldn't come up with anything exciting for today's challenge - just a reel of thread and one large needle!

Thanks to everyone who views this photo, adds a note, leaves a comment and of course BIG thanks to anyone who chooses to favourite my photo .... thanks to you all.
"It is funny how the past and the present can slide together in the shadows of an attic. That rusty pair of ice skates... the old-fashioned dress dummy... and Grandma's old sewing machine... that amazing Singer with the fancy ironwork and the funny-shaped bobbins. I can see her now, pumping her feet back and forth on the treadle, humming along with the machine..."
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.
The events in our lives happen in a sequence in time, but in their significance to ourselves they find their own order the continuous thread of revelation.
