Digging for Clams
23 June 2014 -- 174/365
Providence, Rhode Island
It was a beautiful day today, so I decided to visit India Point Park at lunch for today's photo. There were several groups of people on the rocky shore taking advantage of the low tide and digging for clams. Now, clams are extremely popular in the state, and there's nothing better than a fresh little neck on the half-shell, but knowing the history of this area there's not a chance I'd ever eat shellfish from this spot! For almost a century, this area was a metal scrapyard. Your guess is as good as mine as to how high the concentration of heavy metal toxins you may find in the sand along that shoreline. With 400 miles of coastline, there are far better places in the state from which to harvest shellfish.
Post processing started with a neutral greyscale filter in Topaz B&W FX. I adjusted color sensitivity sliders, adaptive exposure, regions, contrast, boost black, boost white, and protect highlights. A levels adjustment was added in PSE.
Sixteen After School programs design and built scarecrows that were displayed in Sister Cities Park October 1-31, 2012.
One of the many delights of being home...digging through closets to find gems like these. There were shelves and shelves full of records, all from the 1950's from my grandmother's collection. All the original Elvis records were there too :-))
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.
Watching Green Woodpecker digging in the local school field. Recent heavy rain has softened the turf and the Woodpecker were quite literally beak deep digging for insects and worms.

Can anyone identify this street in Stirling?
I've just now found this photograph that I made in about 1980 when I lived in Uist and was attending a short course in the Photography Department of St. Andrews University.
I remember that I was impressed with how spritely the digging woman seemed to be despite her old age and what looked like a bad back.
Although I lived for three years in the early 1990s a few miles from Stirling and knew the town quite well I am still unable to work out what street this is and what my vantage point would have been on a wall or a footpath above a vegetable garden..
