My mom and a neighbour digging toward each other, my mother started at our door and the neighbour at our driveway to clear the walk so we can get out of our house.
Adventist world church officers help Kwang Soo Park, left, dig for a commemorative planting to mark 20 years of the 1000 Missionary Movement Training Center earlier this month in Silang Cavite, Philippines. Park is the director of the center, which has trained more than 6,000 people for mission service since it opened in 1993.
We had to dig an 18" deep ditch from the house to the spa. 18" doesn't sound like a lot until you start doing it, and then it's approximately the distance to China.
Since Bill was already aching from the wall and ramp (de)construction, I decided I'd better go ahead and learn how to use a mattock. It was fun. For about two swings. Then I wanted a massage and a nap. I probably excavated all of about 2% of this ditch. My husband, he is strong like bull. And also sore like hell.
A fresh water well was needed to connect the clinic with a spring system a few feet down. Clean water is hard to come by and the nearby spring was used as a cleaning and bathing area. The rivers are full of trash and debris and often act as a bathroom, laundry area, bathing area, and playing area. The water, when supplied by the local municipality, is plagued by parasites and far from potable. The team from Poland Springs and PID worked hard to build water filtration systems that have significantly improved the overall health of the villagers.
The child here, Mario, is sponsored by one of our team members. Only nine years old, he was very sick growing up and looks much younger than he is. He constantly jumped into holes, grabbed shovels, and insisted on helping us with every task.
Had a thought in my head that I needed to express threw a picture. And this will be expressed threw a series of pictures. I plan on shooting everyday, sort of a 365 project, but I really cant commit myself to something like that. Since it was around 6:00 and I have yet to take a picture, I headed over to my neighbors to see if he would be the lovely model. We went out to a field, to where a dead body could be found. Set-up and took some pictures.

Noëlise Monrose is digging new drains for his banana farm in the Bexon valley in St Lucia. 85 - 90 percent of the banana growers in St Lucia were affected by Hurricane Thomas in October 2010, which caused landslides and flooding throughout the island. As a result waterways were destroyed, fields were silted and yields were lost. Through a FAO intervention, waterways are cleared and windbrakes are planted to protect the fields from hurricanes as the season is approaching.

Work being done at Nodes Point on the Isle of Wight, near Saint Helens, Bembridge to repait the sea wall.
I was quite impressed to get this, the guy was shifting the rubble around from a demolished building in Christchurch there was a fair bit of dust but i managed to catch him in a 3 exposure autobracket with no movement, handheld too. The only ghosted part was on the final shot where the guys head had turned to the right, which was an easy fix for photomatix

Week #37 (w/b 22 March) Words of Wisdom - Let’s share our best wisdom quotes or indeed your own words of wisdom. So, let's have a week of inspiration and entertainment which will, of course, brighten up all of our days. Forgive me but I might just use this one (!!) “Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which one to keep” … now, I will have to go and think of a shot that fits this quote by Scott Adams (American cartoonist and creator of Dilbert).
He who digs a hole for someone, will fall in it himself.
