we were all taken aback when our guide reached down about 4 feet into a pool that looked like it was about 8" deep, where many thousands of perch were hanging out.
The guys cut an access into the crawlspace from the basement in basically the only spot it would work, given all the plumbing and heating constraints down there. The concrete floor is poured now. As an aside, you can see orange cones out in the street, where the county spent the early part of the summer redoing a lot of concrete and assuring that we had extravagant amounts of dirt and filth from that work as well as our own.

Another one from the photo walk of the other night. When we came across this digger we all got a little shutter-happy, but I just to take it a little further by sticking my camera to a nearby roadsign with the GorillaPod and then messing about with my two speedlights.
Much as I like Nikon CLS, I have to say that it let me down here. I'm really beginning to see the point of radio triggers. Not that I can afford Pocket Wizards. Roll on RadioPoppers!
(CLS is still great for indoors and/or close range.)
Lit with one bare SB600 on the ground in front of the digger, fired by CLS, and one SB800 behind the digger's cab, not fired by Nikon CLS.
10 minutes into snowblowing the driveway, the snowblower's auger drive belt broke, so I had to resort to hand shoveling. Uggh! 14 inches of snow and a very big driveway.

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.

I noticed this beautiful , bright day lily in my neighbor's garden. Once I peered over the fence, I saw a bonus chocolate brown butterfly, enjoying lunch !!. I think it's a Eastern Tiger Swallowtail, the dark version, but I'm not 100% sure :)
If you don't have enough arm power to push the shovel down when digging then you RIDE it down *grin*. Blogged @ rosinahuber.blogspot.com/2011/03/chicken-coop-remodel.html
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.
