Here is Abel using an attachment on the tractor for digging holes for grow bags. We continually try to automate the more laborious tasks in the nursery to become more efficient and keep our crew safer.

The Outer Banks is a sanctuary for wildlife. The day we spent on the beach, we were surrounded by numerous birds who diligently searched for food. These sanderlings were so tiny that they were afraid of even the slowest waves but had to be brave enough to jump in and start digging as soon as the waves receded. It was one of the cutest things to watch.

This echidna was busy trying to protect itself from us by digging into the clay , under a fallen tree .

The photo lets us see the line outlining the spine area .. this 'valley' is seen because both sides of the echidna are lifted up & out, to let those very powerful 'spade-tipped' legs & feet dig freely , while acting as a shield.

Work continues this year on the University Link light rail tunnels. This photo shows the gantry cars lined up and connected to the tunnel boring machine that is being re-assembled to dig the northbound tunnel between Capitol Hill and downtown Seattle. The gantry cars carry several items including the electrical transformer for the TBM, grout tanks and pumps and utility piping. U-Link tunneling will be completed in 2012 with passenger service expected in 2016.

I used to walk this site a lot before it was a quarry.Where the Oak trees are was good cover to watch Buzzards.Now you can walk behind the back hedge where the new trees are planted.The M25 is in the background.

Harvesting cockles at the shores of Bayan Mutiara Penang. They get their cockles fresh from the muddy beach, preparing for the lunch feast.

 

I always worry for contamination in the cockles, cases of lead and mercury(heavy metal) poisoning are very rare - but something to be alert of. Twenty years ago, this was in the middle of the sea. This shore is part of a reclaimed land that become Bayan Mutiara.

Be careful what you wish for, we got the big snow storm that I wanted and a bit more... 21 inches worth! For the first time in 27 years I missed a shift because of weather. Good thing, it snowed harder this afternoon than I can remember including the blizzard of '93. I would be stranded at the tower... without beer :-)

 

This was after the 2nd shoveling !

Work to build a permanent Sounder train station in Tukwila includes construction of a new parking lot by contractor Absher Construction; the parking lot should open in December. New train platforms nearby are being built in phases to allow uninterrupted passenger service. The project is slated for completion next spring.

Molly keeps a close eye on the approaching storm.

 

The beach was still bathed in late afternoon sunshine as the rain swept in from offshore. Usually storms blow in from the west in the summertime, but this was the last of Tropical Storm Emily headed our way.

 

Molly had to dig quickly before the rain sent us back inside and Steve had to give me a poop bag (a clean one) to protect my camera...

Bella digging a hole, what more can I say, it's a "Springer thing".

I was fascinated to watch how these reed bees were able to shove their way into the Gompholobium flowers. They just kept forcing their little heads between the wings to access the pollen presenter within. It looked like a very arduous task and took this little lady several minutes to complete her task. At one point she looked well and truly stuck in there! Thankfully her persistence paid off and she was able to free herself. Here we have a good shot of her beehind sticking out, so I will include it for Beautiful Bug Butt Thursday! [Colo, NSW]

Probably digging a hole to the other side of the earth, probably trying to link up the one I tried to dig about 18 years ago!! (0:

I haven't posted one of these in a while. They brighten my day, hopefully yours too, as we head into what looks like a magnificent weekend here.

 

This is a Ruby-throated Hummingbird who really is needing to dig deep into this salvia to get at the nectar.

 

Oh, yes, glad you asked, it does look much better on black (hit "L").

Erecting columns for a new advertising sign.

No bobcats here, these guys dug this trench by hand in one day. It's for electrical from the main office to the new building on campus. Of course it stayed like this all night with no safety barriers until they filled it in the next day.

The city is building a new park here and this digger is clearing the way.
