Gopher digging a new opening (pushing the dirt out now).

After driving into the mountains to look for snakes, but finding the weather horrible--13 C and a howling wind--I headed back down to try a lower road. The conditions were little better, but i saw a small-toothed ferret badger (Melogale moschata) but no snakes. After wandering down a farm trail for a last search before giving up, I heard a noise in the trees from the other side of the bend ahead and expected boar as I approached quietly. As I peered into the bushes, suddenly a pangolin appeared and began digging noisily, tearing into the tree roots. After a minute or so, it ambled away only to then emerge from the brush and cross the path in front of my feet, clambering up the bank so close that I stroked its tail a couple of times, not that it seemed to notice.

Digging the spike as his teammate looks on. This one just makes me laugh. Taken at Maligne Lake, there was a whole flock of Canadian geese, but this one was paddling towards me, giving me a good look, and the mmmHmmm attitude head cock too. Really happy I got him in focus. On the big screen, you can even see the water droplets on his/her head from feeding.

Bear # 1 again. It was low tide and he had been digging for clams on the beach. Behind the bear is sedge grass which is the bears most common food in Spring.

Digging for gold

All measured and the digging begins!

This is Taz at 12 weeks old, she's my feeble excuse for not being involved in the group lately!

Ned planted a conker in my mums garden a while ago but now it needs to be transferred to a more open space, as it was to near to the house.

here are the pictures of its replanting

There's always that one spot where you can't quite reach....but wingtip to tail balance helps Dad Swan to have a good go at it!

During ISV's Costa Rican adventure, volunteers get the chance to help endangered sea turtles.

Kelvin, Charlton and John finishing off the last bit of excavations for the outside walls to house 5. We had left this section because we hoped that a lorry would delivery laterite right onto the site in the position we wanted, but later the haulier said we didn't want to reverse this far down the site.

We are having a snowstorm and when I went to the store this am I snapped these.

A sequence of the amazing solifug digging behaviour:

1- Turning a rock 5 times bigger and 20 times heavier;

2- For one the most powerful chelicerae in the animal kingdom biting a sandy rock is like having a muffin for breakfast;

3- The bitten rock is them passed under the body and pushed away through the back legs;

4- Shooing in more rock;

5- and shooing and using the suctorial ability of the palps to grab "small" rocks;

6- And them using the chelicerae as a shovel and pushing the rocky remains out;

Polly finds something interesting in one the planters.

Digging up an ancient body

she was really digging that corn.

I asked permission to take their photo. They told me he'd achieved this in an hour and a half!

Gage Park

Today we were digging a trench for the fence we're putting in for the Kingdom Hall. We worked from 9am-2pm. It was hot, the ground was incredibly hard, and we had faulty tools that kept breaking. We loved it.

First we put down a string and broke through with the tools, then we moved the string and did the same on the otherside. After that, we started removing the grass from on top. After the grass was off, we softened the soil by digging into it and breaking up the clumps. The dirt was mixed with clay and rocks, so a few of the tools broke and bent. It was actually extremely hard work in the incredibly hot sun. Good news, the clouds rolled in after we were all done. Figures. :]

(This is Samuel, and he worked so hard for such a little guy! The sunglasses that were being passed around just didn't fit him!)

Heather took some great pictures of James during a BBQ on Sunday. I thought I'd try out some "reverse orton" photoshopping and while I was playing around with a texture layer, I accidentally came across this tint.

I'll try to come up with a couple more variations...

this place is a big place where digging for moclay is made for commercial purpose and the moclay is being used for cat-strey and for tiles inside the fireplace...

We are allowed to walk there and look for fossils and when we were there nobody were working...but trucks use to drive in and out on working days....

digging for sweet potatoes...with my friends..

CRJI Leadership Training -Digging Deeper Project

This is everyone building jumps.

We buried a large amount of toy dinosaurs and creepy crawlies in this sand box and provided shovels for the kids to dig. Anything they dug up, they kept. Made for an interesting and slightly different party game :)

Digging in the Dirt by Peter Gabriel

"I'm digging in the dirt

Stay with me I need support"

I realize this might be a bit too literal, but it does show some elements of struggle.

Saw at a riverside of Taiwan

Digging a couple hundred holes for new coffee trees. Sometimes digging by hand is actually more efficient than bringing in fancy equipment. My neighbor was digging holes at the same time but these guys actually went faster than his backhoe.

Let's hope the hunt lasts til this evening for another night of even more wacky digging in the dark.
