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.
We went to Wells next to the sea in Norfoke. It was Morris's first time at the seaside. he wanted to dig a hole.

NorthWood volunteers Mark and Ed dig a ditch which will later form the foundation for the pillars of a new school gate at Nam Mon Primary School 1.
This shovel has been at this monument for some time - why?
I seem to be spending way too much time in graveyards...
After a week of extreme mud and mess, the footings have been excavated.
Seems there's enough clay to open a pottery!
Roll on Monday when the concrete arrives.
News Flash!
While the gale has been blowing, the rain torrential and the night as black as coal, my dog fell down the newly dug footings for our extension.
Down into a huge water filled trench of mud and clay.
Guesse who had to scramble in to lift her out??? Not my husband!
The poor wee dog was trembling and up to her belly in freezing water. Both dog and I were in dire need of a hot bath and sympathy!!

The Old Timers Mine and Museum opens a window on the fascinating history of opal mining in Coober Pedy, revealing not only the hard physical grind and the occasional bonanza that was mining in the early days, but also an intriguing mystery at the heart of the mine.
oldtimerThe original mine dates back to 1916, but the old miners, whoever they were, concealed its existence by back-filling the shafts. The mystery is why they never returned to dig out the opal that remained. Perhaps they went to the First World War and never came home again. It was not until 1968 that the hidden mine was discovered by Ron Gough when he was digging an extension to his underground home and broke through, exposing three large seams of good quality opal, as well as opalised seashells. These have been retained and can be seen by visitors today.
The museum shows how miners, usually working alone, would dig the shafts and blast holes and winch the dug soil up to the surface, all by hand, with only candles and carbine lamps for illumination. Ron Gough was one of these miners, and it was he who realized the potential for opening the mine as a tourist attraction, his dugout (his family’s underground home) was added, being set up as a display home to show what life was like living underground from the 1920s to the 1990s.
There were many setbacks, including, in the 70s, another miner pegging a claim and blasting away, reaching the bedroom before he was stopped by court order. However, delays were eventually windlass2overcome and, with the fortuitous discovery of opal worth $50,000 just when finances were desperate, the Old Timers Mine and Museum began operating on 7th July 1987. Since then it has never looked back. Now it is one of the premier tourist attractions in Coober Pedy, having won many tourist awards for its ingenious self-guided mine tours through this historical mine (with guides written in many languages), the demonstrations of opal mining machinery and the chance for visitors to find their own piece of opal by noodling through the left over mullock heaps. Polished opal and rock specimens and opal jewellery and souvenirs are, of course, on show in the gift shop. What makes this visit to the Old Timers Mine and Museum unique for many people is seeing how miners and their families lived and worked underground.
This was taken at Nash Point yesterday - I've no idea what the man was looking for but in my imagination thought it might be gold!!!
Pendleton, Indiana (01-28-09) The snow storm that swept across Indiana and much of the Midwest Tuesday evening and Wednesday morning left Pendleton, as well as the rest of Indiana, digging out much of Wednesday.
Many businesses and all of the area schools were closed because of the road conditions. Devon Price and George Price, for the Pendleton-Gazette, were out Wednesday morning and captured what the snow storm left behind.
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.
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.
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.
