July 16, 2010 - Port St. Joe, FL: The task of excavating eggs gets more and more difficult the further you have to lean into the nest because you must carefully balance yourself so you don't fall into the nest!

Lit with a hand-held Speedlight SB-600, which brought balance to the grey sweater and the cloudy grey sky. The sun was behind the subject.

The neighborhood gathers to dig free of the snow. (Bigger.) Snow blowers aren't really as helpful as you might think when you have over twenty inches of heavy snow on the ground! Folks gathered to help clear the walks and driveways of those who had gotten a late start, or of course for people who were unable to do any clearing.
One of the neighbors across the street is about our age, and none of us had seen snow like this since we were kids. That said, we all wondered where the kids who used to shovel walks & driveways were. Playing video games inside, I suppose.
He told us he'd called the electric company about the electricity; they told him not to expect the return of power until the twelfth (Friday!). Eeek! Fortunately, not long after that a truck from the electric company drove by and of course stopped to talk with everyone (we were all out, believe me). He laughed and said power would be up within half an hour or so; a transformer had blown the night before (Zach saw it happen while walking home). Clearly, that wasn't the last to give in!
Sure enough, the power returned a while later. One neighbor's wife came running outside, cheering, "The power is back! The power is back!" Relief! We were concerned about getting our heat back more than anything else. (I had earlier joked to Dad on the phone that if it got too bad, we could bury our food in the snow between our home and our neighbors'.) We are still not sure how long the power had been off, but it was at least eight or so hours.
Of course, since I am from Michigan, everyone seems to think this is "my kind of weather", and that Michigan is *always* covered in a foot or more of snow, even in summer.
Trust me, neither of these assumptions is true. However, I mostly try to be nice about it.
Though the snow is quite fun to play in, and it is exciting to see such a great deal of it. I'll give them that much...
It was so exciting to see the digging. No, not into construction equipment and the boys are a little old for that; just so happy that it's really hapening!
This little bird burns more calories looking for food than he gets from eating his catch! No wonder his legs are so scrawny!

The next chapter in my portfolio is an extensive collection of sepia monotone photos taken throughout South Africa, the continuation of taking photographs anywhere and everywhere I find the opportunity to do so.
In this photograph, which is similar to one by John Warwick Brooke, soldiers are shown digging a trench, viewed between strands of barbed wire. The men have only dug to about knee level and are very exposed, so it seems probable that they were not within sight of enemy trenches. Nearer the front line, trench digging was done under cover of night.
Barbed wire was used by both sides as a deterrent to slow an enemy attack as it approached the front of the trenches. It had been invented in 1873 in America as cattle fencing, but its nickname there seems even more apt to its use in warfare. It was called 'The Devil's Rope'.
