Before the Second World War, the area would be described as industrial, because of the presence of wide-scale quarrying and associated activity.
Men came from places such as Bridgnorth and Ludlow to work in the quarries, and the villages of Bedlam and Dhustone on Titterstone Clee were built especially for the quarry workers.
Crumbling remains of quarry buildings now litter the hill, reminders of a bygone industry that once employed more than 2,000 people here.
An old 3 ft (914 mm) narrow gauge railway incline is still visible on the hill and a large concrete structure under which the wagons were filled with stone still remains next to the modern day car park.
Women laying drainage pipe during airfield construction in Esat Anglia. This photo appeared in the 13 September 1941 issue of The Sphere.
I have already removed all the cactus from my yard as when you hit it with the lawn mower, it goes KAPOW!!
Today, I realized that I didn't get a picture, so I staged this one on the trail.
If you carefully add food coloring to the roots of your plants over time you can tint them almost any color. Or you can just slide the hue scale to the left in Photoshop.
It was pretty in red, but I'm bored.
Found this common Snipe this morning, round the back of the freshmarsh @ Titchwell. Taken from the east trail with 2800mm of zoom on the P1000
Everyone is so excited about the construction projects at the zoo. Even this coati, named Blondie, helped to dig a ditch!
Chipmunk digging around below the boardwalk, only there for a second, gone the second it noticed me.
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!
Once the suet feeder was refilled, the Downy Woodpeckers made their presence known.
This male made frequent visits but usually showed up after the female.
Placing a new culvert for Secret Creek under SR 532 near Stanwood requires a very deep trench.
Contractor crews working for WSDOT excavated a trench 40 feet deep for the new culvert.
Replacing the existing culvert is necessary because it's only 4-feet in diameter and poses a barrier to fish. The narrow size means that water speeds though it far too fast.
The new culvert will be 18 feet wide by 10 feet tall and 195 feet long.
Sketched from inside the community center in my development. We had a lot of snow for the Blizzard of 2015.
Digging in the archives here. Think I have forgotten to upload this amazing beetle with only one registered owner. Kind of amazing for a 1956 car!
Bembix sp.
A scene of the digging.
In this photo, the fore-legs doing the digging are conspicuous. ‎They are no ordinary legs; bow-shaped, well-segmented. They appear very functional for the job. The fine sand is easier to work. The workaholic of a wasp takes on the larger grains (like the one right behind it in the photo) singly, hauls them out of the way and the resumes digging. When it is at rest, its banded abdomen can be seen pulsating. The entire exercise can be compared to canines digging up for burrowed prey, except for the part where the digger goes underground for several minutes, reappears and then scatters the dug up sand over the burrow. The covering up is the part I caught on video.
A few weeks ago, when the sun was out, and the bees were still hard at work, I took this photo near Laburnum Path in Vandusen Botanical Garden.

Previously,
First bit was to dig the truck out, unfortunately the spade handle broke and still no hope when a second spade was used.
I was actually just digging the shadows on the wall and floor. Tasha as a model is just a bonus.
Large silver umbrella camera left. Beauty dish camera left down the axis of the wall. The goal was to light Tasha and keep the shadows. Assisted by Ray Prax.
Photoshopped for illustrative effect, with a couple of layers thrown over it for good measure. I am really into just having the model as a character in a scene as opposed to being a pretty model shot. Of course, with Tasha, well, it's always pretty anyway...
