Digging

goo.gl/DcLMVA

Excavations during the November 2005 field season, with rain on the horizon. North of Tifariti.

A day to dig out of the snow that blanketed the North East coast. Some said it stretched a thousand miles up the coast. Pray we stay safe.

with a hint of a light leak

We have been taking the dogs up to the wild end of Tilgate park for walkies.

Here are some shots from today's walk.

More than a foot of snow fell while we were at the cabin. The road is not maintained in the winter, so we were thankful for the powder.

Hargeisa (Arabic: هرجيسا‎) is the capital of the state Somaliland and the second largest city in Somalia.

These photos are a small side-project from a field mission documenting the work of the Finnish NGO Physicians for Social Responsibility - specifically their long-running effort around TB in Somalia.

P.S. It is not uncommon for words in Somali to have several different spellings in English [e.g. Hargeysa / Hargaysa].

P.P.S. If you've got appetite for more Africa then do see this collection.

he's not exactly in peril, but digging yourself into a hole in a cemetery isn't such a good idea

Frank was taking time from his schedule to dig up all the pecans that squirrels buried in the backyard.

Plus this photo shows Frank's coat - which is hard to photograph (being it is many shades of brown/tan) unless the lighting is just right.

Carcharodon megalodon, Hemipristis, Dusky, Lemon, Tiger, Bull, Mako and sand shark fossils are on display again after resting in the sand for a million-plus years on the shores of Venice, Fla. The 10,000 or so teeth I own have been sitting in my garage since my fossil hunting days of 2004-06. I became hooked when I discovered my first tooth, an extinct Mako. A handful at a time, I combed the beach daily for hours in search of the elusive magalodon, preferably one that wasn't chipped or broken. And when I finally found that treasured 3 1/2-incher, I felt like I had won the lottery. Back in the 1950s, the beaches were covered with prehistoric shark teeth, earning Venice the title of "Shark tooth capital of the World." Today the pickings are slim, unless you're up at 3 a.m. with the other first-come-first-serve, flashlight-toting hunters.

Just like the Waltons Baby

that old homestead

can keep us alive...

theres a fireplace

and a big old spring...

all the water we can use

and it won't cost a thing...

and old milk cow...

I'm fixing up that old homestead

and doing it right now..

but this is the plan Honey

I'm going back to the country

and doing my own thing...

where I'm on my own

and the phones don't ring..

and it's mine to take

staying here i'm digging

my own grave.....

repeat chorus...

Gir National Park and Wildlife Sanctuary, also known as Sasan Gir, is a forest and wildlife sanctuary near Talala Gir in Gujarat, India. It was established in 1965, with a total area of 1,412 km2 (545 sq mi), of which 258 km2 (100 sq mi) is fully protected as national park and 1,153 km2 (445 sq mi) as wildlife sanctuary. It is part of the Kathiawar-Gir dry deciduous forests ecoregion.

In the 19th century, the rulers of Indian princely states used to invite the British colonists for hunting expeditions. At the end of the 19th century, only about a dozen Asiatic lions were left in India, all of them in the Gir Forest, which was part of the Nawab of Junagarh's private hunting grounds. Today, it is the only area in Asia where Asiatic lions occur and is considered one of the most important protected areas in Asia due to its supported species. The Gir ecosystem with its diverse flora and fauna is protected as a result of the efforts of the government forest department, wildlife activists and NGOs. However, faced with a drastic drop in the lion population in Gir, after British viceroys brought to his attention the plight of the lion in Asia, the sanctuary is the jewel of Gujarat's ecological resources.

There are now thought to be around 700 Asiatic lions in Gir.

Digdigdig! We have had some problems with holes in our back yard. This afternoon we saw who was responsible. I didn't want to get too close, but I tried to get some pictures, because they really are very cute.

Tormod and his nephew Uilleam had gone to the meadow to dig the mid-season potatoes. It wasn’t the best crop they had grown, but young Uilleam seemed to be enjoying the opportunity to be playing in the fresh dirt.
