"Jonas," the winter storm that hit Washington, DC on 22-23 January, left about 2 feet of snow in our area, with higher drifts.It took some time to uncover our car.
When digging for bottles there is a lot of "dump" you dig through. A lot of junk but looking back I wished I would of kept more of it!

Another stellar find by Tess was this Lipotriches bee.
We were in our friend’s garden and I had put some of my belongings down momentarily on the lawn.
Tess saw this bee flying around and around over where my belongings were sat, and guessed the bee was either looking for her burrow, or looking to start digging a burrow.
So I picked my stuff up, and sure enough, the Lipotriche flew down between the blades of grass and started digging into the earth.
She dug for a while, then hovered slightly above it and appeared to be ‘mapping’ out the entrance, then went back to digging.
It was the first time I have ever seen a bee dig a hole… And then a short while later, Tess pointed out a second Lipotriches nearby doing exactly the same thing! (2 bees or not 2 bees? That is the question!)
Whilst my photos aren’t perfect, I thought I would post them up anyway as I was so excited to witness this.

The Dinorwic quarry is a large former slate quarry, now home to the Welsh National Slate Museum, located between the villages of Llanberis and Dinorwig in North Wales. It was the second largest slate quarry in Wales, indeed in the world, after the neighbouring Penrhyn quarry near Bethesda.
It covered more than 700 acres (283 ha) consisting of two main quarry sections with 20 galleries in each and a number of ancillary workings. Extensive internal tramway systems connected the quarries using inclines to transport slate between galleries.
