Edward Street, Sheffield, UK by Karl.
Looks like an archaeological dig in progress. This are probably due to be covered over by student flats to match those already in place across the street.
There ended up being these really old bricks about a foot under the soil. It was an old road or walkway probably.
«Faccio spesso sogni riguardanti i vecchi tempi. Sogno che stavo pescando su di una barca... ma è inutile, ora. È tutto dentro di me, nel mio cuore. E torna a mostrarmisi come in una visione. Ma tutto ciò è inutile: l'unico luogo verso cui salperò, ora, sarà la tomba.»
Expansion Update: Concrete is gone. You can see the challenges in digging when your located on the edge of a "river." i.e. Rocks!
Maggs digs in to position as the pitcher readies to toss a pitch. Magglio had a good night out in right field, but did miss a chance to make a nice sliding catch on a ball hit to the right center gap. Note the rare grass stains on his pants.

Abi's afternoon project... a little digging by the front porch. She gets this from me. I can't tell you how many mudpies I made in my childhood.

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.
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 :-))
This was in Louisiana when the Ant Lab at LSU was commissioned by a British TV show to dig up a leaf cutter ant nest. This species, Atta texana, is the only one that occurs in North America.
This was in Louisiana when the Ant Lab at LSU was commissioned by a British TV show to dig up a leaf cutter ant nest. This species, Atta texana, is the only one that occurs in North America and Louisiana is the leaf cutter ant's most northern range.
Here the leaves are macerated into bits and the white fuzz is the fungus which the ant then will eat. The symbiosis is strict and complex.

I'm standing in my kitchen on a cold, wet summer afternoon making a Tassimo Costa L'or double shot Latte whilst taking a quick break from watching Sweden versus Slovakia (I've seen more action in a chess match!), on TV in the Euros football tournament when a rain soaked fox enters my garden!
My camera is upstairs still with the Lee SW150 filter holder and circular polarizer attached, and round here, foxes normally do not surface much in daylight nor spend long before scampering away, so I rush up and grab it, hastily tampering with the settings, forgetting to set the vibration control to the on position....
I'm skulking in the corner of the kitchen, shooting through closed, rain splattered windows and the fox can sense my presence and every movement. Far from ideal, but such a joy to have a few brief moments in the presence of such a magnificent animal.
And they say any shot is better than NO shot, don't they......

Photograph taken at an altitude of Fifty one metres at 15:36pm on a cold morning on Friday 18th June 2021, off Chessington Avenue in Bexleyheath, Kent.
Here we see a young Red fox (Vulpes vulpes), the largest of the true foxes (a genus of the sub-family Caninae which form a proper clade or monophyletic or natural group). Red foxes are the largest of the worldwide foxes, and also the most commonly widespread across the Northern hemisphere, Europe and North Africa.
