The Gruffy, Sanderstead is a small park with a pond and a few benches. It sits at the top of Sanderstead Hill, between the main Limpsfield road and All Saints church.
From www.croydon.gov.uk/libraries-leisure-and-culture/parks-an...:
The area around the pond and church once constituted Sanderstead Village, until in 1799 the squire added the village green to his park, a process of enclosure that went on in Sanderstead during the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries.
In 1958‐60 Sanderstead Archaeological Group excavated in the vicinity of the pond and found traces of a 17th century lodge‐house and further digging revealed the presence of man as far back as the Mesolithic Period, nearly 12000 years ago. Pottery fragments dated between 100 AD ‐ 1300 AD, a bronze belt‐end of saxon era was also found.

This Lyrebird was busy digging underneath the Rhododendron and other trees at the Dandenong Ranges Botanic Park and was not particularly worried at the small group of watchers.
You can often find them busy scratching away in the undergrowth. Menura novaehollandiae. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyrebird
Searching for goodies beneath the sand.

The LS&I is usually a very efficient railroad and trains move quick. I saw the storm approaching and figured there could be a neat shot, but I wouldn't be able to see them coming from my truck. Hiding under a tree the rain kept intensifying until it was a strong down pour. They were crawling trying to make the hill and it seemed like an eternity before they rolled around the corner into Queens. Soaked to the bone.
A grizzly bear is hard at work digging for clams early in the morning at low tide in the Khutzeymateen estuary. Notice how you can see the long fingers/claws digging into the sand. In the springtime the grizzlies supplement their sedge grass diet with clams and other intertidal species that they scavenge along the beaches at low tide.

This Honey Bee, like one of many visits our garden several times a day to collect that much sought after gold to make into honey. The beauty of nature just amazes me !!
This image captures a Spotted Towhee digging through show looking for a morsel to snack on. I captured it in my yard in Lassen County, California, USA.
The Ibis is built for digging. Typically, they come right after a rain when the critters come to the surface.
I took this sunset at St Ives in 2007 and tbh i did little at all in the way of new post work but i did upsize it in a minute or so. i have two upsizers and in this instance I used Gigapixel.. Jonathan was reading on Drs.Net ( they even have a photography forum on the site ) how easy it was to remove copyright symbols too now. AI is becoming a monster but I do find the upsizer useful for my old shots..Sue :)
Set of thee oldies again and comments are still off. We were supposed to be on holiday this fine weather week but things have not gone to plan...nothing new there and its not health related i'm thankful to add. !
Working on shooting action and storytelling though I don't love the digging and muddy paws, I do like the flying gravel.
What turned out to be my personal favorite from my run up the Santa Barbara Subdivision following the LOF66/67 (Guadalupe Hauler). Was Union Pacific 2717 hitting the straight track in the middle of the siding at Devon at the Associated Road grade crossing. The train hit a PTC wall at Narlon (unknown switch position) which played to my advantage since I had begun to head to Surf but turned around due to dense fog. After the crew got PTC functioning again the train was back to working toward the top of the Casmalia Hills.The train is showing off a fairly good profile of what's heading into the Santa Maria Valley from empty reefers to a load of John Deere equipment.
Looking for something more uplifting in our lockdown (and some other bird absent from my photostream) I have found several shots from an afternoon session with the Australian Pied Oystercatchers (Haematopus longirostris). Those were the days ;-)
I must admit that it does not smell like roses to lay down next to the roting vegetation while observing these peeps having a feast.... it is however a fascinating scene.
...the moss pot.
I've been digging around and finding our old bonsai pots and decided to plant them in mosses. I found small figures at the nursery.
here is one of the pots.
you can't see, but in the back is a little weeping tree my friend sati sent me one year. wire and tiny little amethysts and emeralds. [see below]
