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 another shot from the Sumatran Jungle series. This was a female orang-utan that was almost acting as a swing to her infant, providing part of the extra hair seen here to the right of her face). As I have mentioned in a previous post, these animals are severely at risk from Palm oil driven deforestation. In fact it is thought that these majestic animals could be extinct in as little as 10 years!!!! That is not something I want to live through. So please do a little digging and reduce your palm oil consumption so that you too can save lives!
From an old slide. A few days of blizzards left huge amounts of drift piled against, through and around the tractors and caravan trains. Here is the start of the process of digging out the tractors from the huge amounts of snow that accumulated every time we had a blizzard - typically twice weekly on our return trip.
The contrast couldn't be greater: workmen digging a hole to put some cables in, and people enjoying a drink at a cafe in the sunshine, only 1 meters away
Super Bowl Sunday in West Yellowstone starts with the International Pedigree Stage Stop Sled Dog Race, The race is over 350 miles in eight days. It is similar to the Tour de France in that it stops in a different destination at the end of each stage.
The first few feet at the start is when the dogs lunge and strain to get the sled and it's load moving. As the sled begins to move the musher climbs aboard and the dogs strain once more. Then the race rhythm takes over and off they go.

I think he is digging for bait for fishing but maybe he is looking for shellfish. Taken on the Ballykelly mudflats.
Despite the fact that there are not one but two festivals going on at the time, someone's obviously much more interested in digging for bait. It's evidently not a team sport.
While digging for other reasons in Trenton, they came across this old steel mill. Not much is left as you can see but at least they saved what they found.
