Returning to Dosewallips State Park for annual clam digging. Very long ferry line wait had us missed the lowest tide near noon. We still met our daily limit in no time. This year's trail was a lot greener, with the addition of yellow wildflower. ktula brought a bucket of sea water home to soak the clams in overnight. The clams were super active feeding and moving around in the sea water. I love watching them do their things.
Long expired Fomapan 200 and long expired Rodinal. I'm trying to force myself back into taking film photographs.

On 7th January 17 people started digging on the site next to Carter's House at the entrance to the Valley of the Kings. They are involved in the important task of preserving the tombs in the Theban Necropolis. An exact facsimile of the tomb of Tutankhamun will open to visitors next spring.
The project has been funded by Factum Foundation.

The Hands of Time consists of 12 bronze sculptures that depict life-size hands engaged in activities symbolic of Victoria’s past. The three-dimensional hands vary in culture, age and gender, and quietly convey eras and stories of Victoria.
The artwork is designed to playfully engage young and old, local and visitor, while kindling interest in Victoria’s history and identity. Each piece reveals a depth of meaning about Victoria, and beckons exploration and contemplation. The gathering basket element of this sculpture was designed by First Nations artist Carolyn Memnook. Gathering baskets and digging sticks were utilized by the Lekwungen people
to gather Camas bulbs for food. The site of this sculpture overlooks a vast Camas bulb field,
a traditional territory of the Lekwungen people.
On the beach at Carmel-By-The-Sea. A beautiful town on the central coast of California. Clint Eastwood was once the mayor here.
A Fisher construction crew was working in a field off Cedarvale Road very close to West Seneca Turnpike. I don't know just what they were doing other than installing large plastic pipes into the drainage ditch along Cedarvale. I'm guessing that a development might be going back there.

The 41 Complex Fires in 2011 consisted of 5 lightning caused fires that burned more than 15,200 acres on the Darby Ranger District of the Bitterroot National Forest. All of the fires were located in the Sapphire Mountains approximately 10 miles east of Hamilton. The largest fire, Up Top, grew to more than 12,300 acres and burned across Skalkaho Highway, closing the road to motorists for several weeks. The fire burned completely around the historic Gird Point Lookout which was saved by firefighters. More than 530,000 gallons of water and 150,000 gallons of fire retardant were dropped on the fires and more than 350 firefighters were assigned to the 41 Complex.

I happened to noticed this guy on other side of the area at the Tuba Fest doing a lot of squirming. Then I seen why, it was cold this day.
They dug an enormous hole and dumped about 18 inches of water into the bottom of it. As one of the dads said, "If you wanted to trap and kill children, this is what you'd build."
"Well Digging" by Lumen Martin Winter on the second floor of the Kansas State Capitol. A well was a necessity for Kansas pioneers, particularly those on the high plains. The woman with a hoe offers a prayer for rain. The men dig deeper under a blazing sun as the diviner looks eagerly on.
One of 8 murals that are on the second floor of the capitol. Commissioned in 1976 and completed in 1978. Originally John Steuart Curry was going to do murals for the second floor rotunda but due to a dispute with legislature Curry left. The legislature then directed a new artist to "refer to" Curry's sketches for ideas on the new murals.
On 12th January, 2010 a 7.0 earthquake rocked Haiti, killing more than 250,000 and leaving more than 1.3 million residents homeless. EDV responded to the Haiti earthquake in early June 2010, and we are working with Classique
school.
The school survived the earthquake undamaged. As one of the only surviving schools in the community, it has been inundated with children wanting to attend classes. The school’s director also allows many of the children in local orphanages attend for free.
But in attending, the children were facing health risks because of the flooding which affected the property.
Working with our local partners, GrassRoots United, and the school’s staff, we engaged international and Haitian volunteers to dig a large drain and relieve the flooding on the school’s property.
As there is very little working sanitation in the area, the mud also contained human faeces. Many of the children do not have shoes, so there was a risk of them contracting a waste borne illness. The standing water also provided a haven for mosquitoes which carry malaria and dengue.
The school also hosts a vocational training school which was severely affected by the earthquake. We hope that this drainage project will be the first step toward helping the vocational training school get back on its feet.
