Jippo: "This is useless. There are no treasures in an old flower pot!"
Bones: "We'll just pretend to be digging for a while and then we say we dug a hole all the way to China and found nothing."

Mellinus arvensis (the Field Digger Wasp) is a ground nester. The females dig burrows in the soil and provision brood chambers with flies. The wasps sting the flies to paralyse them, take them back to the nest burrow and lay an egg on them. The developing larvae then have fresh meat to eat.
We have around twenty active nests in our Staffordshire garden. I would really love to get a photograph of a wasp carrying a fly or dragging one into the nest. It all happens rather quickly. Anyway, I was waiting by some holes (as you do) when this female starting extending the burrow.
She would exit the nest backwards carrying pieces of soil between her mandibles and front legs. She would then drop the soil a few centimetres from the opening. Looked pretty hard work.
Quick snap of a digger working on one of the final parts of the once-massive brewery site at Fountainbridge - the brewery once covered several blocks on both side of the road, all long gone now and mostly redeveloped, this being one of the last blocks still being reworked.
The title is - as those of you with little ones may guess - a nod to the children's picture book Dig, Dig, Digging by Margaret Mayo and Alex Ayliffe, all about diggers and other big machines

This was my favorite of the plants I added to my very small yard a couple of weeks ago. I got out my Sigma 70 Macro and started taking pics when this first pod opened and it bloomed. I figured it would be a good way for me to get some good florals in a city that is not known for having an abundance of nature.
This was processed in Photoshop Elements rather than On1. I sometimes do this to see which software I prefer for a certain set of images so I can just go with that one. Here, I got some very similar results. On1 has become much faster in its latest upgrades and has a much greater set of native options so have mostly used that. Its major limitation is its rather poor noise reduction feature. So, I brought it into Elements for a trip into Nik Dfine. Not a big deal at all. In fact, I always bring my On1 results into Elements for finishing touches or more significant alterations with my various plug-ins.
Nikon d3300 with 35mm 1.8g. I set out to get a long exposure of the sunset with the tide coming in around the rocks with my nd filter or a nice landscape with the recently beached sperm whale in the foreground but... this chap was digging for worms in the distance and I had to go and see what he was up to. It ended up as my favourite shot of the day and we had a nice chat! #dogwoodweek5 #dogwood52weekchallenge
With a leased N&W SD45 in the mix, this e/b piggy-back train grinds up the pass at Cajon on July 28, 1979.
I'm not sure if this fox squirrel is looking for some goodies—or maybe planting something for the future! Last summer when I went to replant annual flowers in my deck pots, I found a little cache of peanuts down in the soil!
Using the same setup as the classic promotional material I shot my own interpretation of the story. Here Captain Red Beard has discovered even more booty in the cave and, as any half decent sea captain would do, has got his shipmate to do all the hard work!

Probably an occasion I could have done with a bit more dof so the winged creature could be made out more. However, I am always very disiplined to stay at or close to base ISO for best colours, DR and overall quality.
I hope your quarantine is going as best as it can...
