Last week I had the absolute pleasure of spending four days in Katmai National Park, in Southern Alaska. It was the most amazing experience of my life!
We didn’t spend a lot of time on the beach the first morning, as there were already a few other groups of tourists there when we arrived. So on our second morning, we hit the beach early and had it all to ourselves. We watched this cute little cub and his mom dig for sandlances (a tiny little shiny fish about 15 cm long). This cub had what we called a “funny haircut” and was easily recognized during our time at Hallo Bay. I think he was absolutely adorable. I can't think of a better way to spend a summer's morning than spending time with these bears!
While this video is not super sharp, I love how it shows this cub in action. We actually had our tripods set up in about a foot of water, so it was difficult to keep the focus on the bear because there was a fair bit of camera shake due to the waves. If you pay close attention, when you hear a wave washing onto the shore you’ll notice a little bit of motion in the video.

What you can't see is that his T-shirt has a digger on with the slogan 'Digging dirt' or something like that.
Guinea borders Sierra Leone, Liberia and Cote d’Ivoire, three countries whose civil wars had spilt over into Guinea. As part of an effort to rebuild the communities along both sides of the borders UNICEF is with the communities and the education ministry building new schools. The schools will in time be equipped with solar powered internet. More importantly the teachers have been trained in active learning methods which are visibly improving the quality of learning. Active learning changes the relationship between the child, the teacher and the environment, moving away from rote learning to encouraging the child to question and explore. UNICEF is building the schools and providing the training, the community is building the teachers homes and the teachers volunteer to go on the training unpaid, the logic being this way the most motivated teachers will go rather than those wishing to benefit from per diems. I was impressed to see how active and engaged the children were in their classes and hope that we will be able to build upon this experiment to share active learning to many more schools across the country.

Abandoned quarry somewhere local to us in Wales. A nice hour of mostly macro photography and detail work just to get out for a fix.

A snow plow works at clearing streets in London Ontario, Canada on November 24, 2013. The city and region received more than 60cm of snow in the first major snow fall of the year.
While the parade participants were overwhelmingly Latino, it was sad to see a typical scene in my neighborhood. This young, healthy black man digging for recyclables to make a few bucks.
He wasn't asking anyone for handouts, and his ancestors certainly didn't come here in search of a better life. Yet the unemployment rate for black men is much higher than for any other US demographic. It's as if he's never even had hope for a better life, while the more recent immigrants are all about hope.

[i'm sure a lot of people won't like this, but that's ok because then i get to say i'm a missunderstood artist pursecuted for my vision....] ;-)
Here's naughty Catori digging a hole in the backyard. As you can see, it no longer have grass and caution must be used to keep from stepping in a husky-dug hole. We've been installing a new dogproof 6 ft fence, and the dogs had a great time "helping" us dig--but mostly un-digging holes we'd filled back in.

Haven't had any time to sort out any "recent" shots from my archives so I've decided to clear some older stuff up that's been lurking since 2009.
First up will be a series of uploads from the Yorkshire Sculpture Park, taken back when they didn't try ax extort vast sums of money from you for walking around a field.

President's Day brought sunny skies but sub-zero wind chills as Boston once again begun digging out from yet another Blizzard. With the temperature hovering around 10F, MBTA 1071 leads a late train 1505 under the Charlesgate just east of Kenmore Square. Despite running a weekend schedule on the holiday, the T remained crippled by failing equipment, frozen switches, and other cold-weather maladies.
Y'know, I lived in Michigan for years and until now I've never used a shovel to de-ice my car before.
Of course the real irony of all this is that it wasn't even winter yet! Yep, the official first day of winter wouldn't come for two days. Damn it, Christmas, must you encroach even further into autumn?!?

The girls and I tried to dig to China today at our beach in Saco. The continental crust at our beach appears to be something greater than four feet. We never made it through even to the mantle.
