Three intrepid fisherman out on the ice and sifting through the muck to find wigglers (mayfly nymphs) used for fishing bait.
Ah, summer is really here. We went to the beach down in Santa Cruz at Natural Bridges, and it was chilly and windy but it really feels like summer now.
It was the most beautiful summer evening, near midnight, sun was setting soon. Suddenly the girls wanted to go fishing to the lake. First they had to find some worms. . .

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.
After huge winds in the storms of the past few weeks, Bayshore residents and property managers begin the gritty task of digging out. Sand blows like snow on the Bayshore spit. It just doesn't melt.

Found this shovel today among my daughter's toys and could not resist to abuse Barbie again for this shot...
The task was for Bunny Danger Awesome Slash Trouble and Chicken to dig beneath a tree in Happy until they could find a buried treasure. They were unsuccessful, but not discouraged.

A male Brimstone feeds on a thistle flower with his wings closed. The upper wings are brilliant yellow in flight to attract a mate, this is the unique green leaf-shape when feeding or resting (and hibernating).
For one of the shots Nick needed to have attempted to make a snow shelter. We found this convenient patch high up on a hill side, and he got stuck in with gusto.

"Digging For Victory". Probably taken somewhere near Minster Lovell, Oxfordshire c1940 (the spires in the background are certainly the city of Oxford -- I think that that's Tom Tower at Christchurch College just right of centre).
The area where the man is digging was given over to be used as garden allotments so that local people could grow their own vegetables during the deprivations of WWII

Two and a half beds dug and all roots carefully removed. Each bed yielded in excess of two wheel barrow loads of roots.
Spent the day chiselling chunks of wayward concrete from beneath the fence, chopping up the cement base exposed when the flags were lifted, gathering up the gravel from the troughs either side of the garden and digging soil that backs up against the breeze block pen.
It's donkey work, but it will open things up. The garden is shaping up nicely.
