Just digging back into the archives and I came across this one from a memorable weekend in the Lakes with some great guys. I overlooked it for processing at the time in preference for the more dramatic. But this image has something that it didn’t when I made it, a future me. ‘I have changed’. I have grown into it! That is the marvellous thing about photography; you can enjoy work you started years previously and keep relieving and nurturing the small sparks of yet to be realised ideas. Anyway, I get the feeling that some of the people who were there at the time already had a head start on me, but life is a journey right, and creatively a very enjoyable one at that.
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!
Even though the tree had blown down over the winter, this Great Spotted Woodpecker was still going to create a nest hole. One to keep an eye on, if this is a nest site.
I am still recuperating from flu so I had no chance of going out to shoot. Instead, I was once again digging in my archives to check whether there’s something worth posting. So here it is, The Arts Science Museum shot with my old & not so wide 17-40mm f/4L USM lens. I hope you enjoyed your weekend Flickr friends!

Lower Saxony - Göhrde
The Göhrde is the largest contiguous mixed forest area in northern Germany. Here you can get to know a natural area that is unique in its own special way. The Göhrde state forest is an impressive woodland area and its core areas are covered with very old trees.
Also known for the Göhrde murders.
It used to be the hunting ground of the Dukes of Brunswick and Lüneberg and later, the Kings of Hanover and the German Emperor. At the time of the murders the forest stood close to West Germany's border with East Germany.
Also the E6 is on the route.
The E6 European long-distance hiking trail is part of the European hiking trail network and runs from Kilpisjärvi in north-western Finland to the Dardanelles in Turkey. The total length is 6030 kilometers.
One of my little Greenie buddies digs deep in the water in a vain attempt to secure his next meal but comes up empty!! He was not having much luck and came up with every little twig and piece of debris in the area!!! He was persistent!! Photo taken on Horsepen Bayou!

Out of a string of roughly 30 storage tanks on the siding directly south of Walkerton, 8 needed to be fished out. So, sulking in the shadows with a perfect sucker hole of light through the heavily wooded area behind me, we get a closer look of PREX 1600, an ex. Seaboard GP16 smoking up quite a bit. Fear not, the crew was shoving when I shot this, not that safety is a concern at a 5mph track speed or anything though!
This should have been uploaded three days ago, but thanks to a massive storm and not the best public service company, I've been out of power since Monday afternoon. Nearly 72 hours later, my power has just flickered back on, so I had to mark the occasion somehow. Here you go!
After loading pellets, the 3 Tilden job is pulling hard eastbound up the grade out of Palmer Junction back to the yard with the tailings of the now-closed Empire Mine in the background.
At the head end they have 4 empty clay hoppers, 2 empty sodium hydroxide tanks, followed by loaded ore jennies on the tail end.

There is no shortage of toys for either of the fuzzy babies in this house, now, if you ask either of them, they will most certainly have a very different opinion.
They each have their own bins and both can never quite find that perfect toy.
Sock will settle with a not-new-not-squeaky ball, but Fyero... well she's always sure to announce how unsatisfactory her toy selection truly is.

Hope everyone has had a good day.

A squerrel was found very busy digging, the guy seem to be very seriously doing this from a long time. As he spotted our car,at times he will jump up like that and see how far we are, and to make sure he is safe. But the funny guy never knew I got out from the car and was there right next to him.

my area under the big tree was finally starting to fill in. I had a very nice buncha violets growing under the hydrangeas and fuchsias.
no more.
marina the podenco, assisted by louie louie the standard poodle, disrupted the plants by trying to dig to china. 2+ foot holes. bunches of them.
the mighty hunters track the elusive gophers.
