Our friend here is sat on the wall of the excellent allotments in Bramham village encouraging us to dig for victory against this horrible virus. More homegrown food the less time we spend in the shops.
Stay safe and be alert my friends

This is from back in the day when there was plenty of activity down in the open cast pit at Fuxin. But the bucket shovels were searching for seams of coal that were already running out.
I detect there is a narrow gauge electric line at the top of the picture. I guess that’s the track running to the depot on the south side of the pit, but how did it fit in with the grand scheme of things.
The big electric loco was bringing the coal up to the rim for use in the local power station.

Just digging around in the past and came across this from a dusk shot in winter. I think I overlooked it a few years ago because I had (and still do to some regards) an aversion to manmade things and have attempted to showcase natural beauty in all that is nature. But, I like it, even if it’s full of buildings and unnatural light. Thing is, will it evoke the emotional reaction in time? Not sure but who knows? Anyway, if you have read this far you may agree or disagree with me… (o:

I was wondering what all these people were doing on a Sunday morning at the beach. Apparently not one of them was going into the water. I found out they were digging for shells in the sand. The water had just retreated leaving behind fresh shells. People like this man collected them in order to sell them on the local market.
The Batten Kill is a truly a time warp, and if you're lucky enough to spend anytime along the line when they are operating you will feel like you have been transported back a half century or more.
Here is one such example. No ditch lights, ptc antennas, high viz vests or any other signatures of modern railroading are visible. Here is an Alco RS3 blt. in Sept 1952 on home rails paused beside a 1909 built ex Delaware and Hudson passenger station. This is MP A136.9 on the old D&H Washington Branch and BKRR 4116 has paused just north of the Main Street crossing so engineer and railroad president and owner Bill Taber seen here could get down with shovel in hand to help clear some ice and snow before pushing through a four foot high berm as he and his hardy little crew work to open the railroad after the epic three feet of snow that was dumped on Washington County and much of the northeast.

Here's a side view of my sister's Jack-o-lantern Goodie Bowl, full of goodies, being explored by one of the many squirrels who have been showing up for our Backyard Harvest Fest.
This backside view is something we see over and over. And no matter how many times we see it, a squirrel caboose is still a cute sight to see!
The treats being offered in our Goodie Bowls include a mixture of shelled peanuts, pecans and walnut pieces, and there are also whole pecans, walnuts, almonds, Brazil nuts and hazelnuts.
Not normally the side of Bozeman Hill that the helpers are used to digging in on, this helper set is nevertheless attacking the west slope of Bozeman with gusto as they roll through West End with the Logan Local in tow. Just behind me is Bozeman Tunnel and the crest of the hill. Fun fact, the wooden wall just visible between the pine trees is home to number of Grizzly Bears, a neat to place to visit when in the area.
Ugh. I am sick. I have taken lots of pills but none of them are working. Speaking of work -- it's all craps and fans there... loving that. I should be resting but I'm e-mailing and calling and ftping and editing and paperworking and UGH. HBW.
Oh and if anyone knows what this tree is please do let me know. It smells so lovely and has the most beautiful blossoms well into September now.
Figured it out -- it's a Clarodendron or Harlequin Glorybower.

A couple of toads hang out in one of my potted plants. Because the soil is so dark, they darken themselves to match.

At that time I wrote down this "Digging for gold" idea here and kept my eyes open for an excavator and at some point I stumbled upon this one by chance and could not believe I finally found one.
With only one single flashlight and a telescopic pole, I painted this 10 meter rainbow in front of the excavator.
Unfortunately, I did not find any gold here, but the joy over the excavator was the same!
